9 mins
By Lucas Heitzmann Gabrielli and Prashanta Kharel

In this tutorial series, you will learn how to set up and use the PhotonForge web UI to design, simulate, and verify the performance of integrated optical devices and systems. The video tutorials demonstrate the process of creating a new PhotonForge project step-by-step and detail the options available to progress from basic single-device simulation to complex optical systems models. All projects created in this series are also available as examples in our example gallery.

Skills you will develop

After completing these tutorials, you will be able to:

Set up and customize Technologies in PhotonForge conforming to foundry PDKs.

Simulate an optical device from a GDSII file using Tidy3D.

Simulate large optical systems by combining devices from single or multiple GDSII files using a Circuit Model.
