OTTAWA -- Optiwave Systems Inc., the leading provider of optical component and system design tools, today announced the immediate availability of OptiSPICE 1.0, the industry’s first circuit design software for analysis of integrated circuits including interactions of optical and electronic components. OptiSPICE is the only offering that enables the design and simulation of opto-electronic circuits at the transistor level, from laser drivers to transimpedance amplifiers, optical interconnects and electronic equalizers.

“OptiSPICE is the next evolutionary step in advanced simulation design software created to meet the current demands of today’s electronic and optical engineers,” said Dr. Jan Jakubczyk, President of Optiwave. “With the imminent coexistence of electrical and optical components at the chip and board level, it is important to provide designers with a reliable simulation framework that can accurately and efficiently predict signal behaviour in opto-electronic integrated circuits.“
