Elevate Your Photonics Projects with Photon Design’s Advanced Software 

CBS Inc. proudly serves as the Canadian distributor for Photon Design’s software products, a global leader in the tools for both active and passive photonic component design, as well as photonic integrated circuits. Photon Design's products are currently used in hundreds of laboratories in dozens of countries, contribute to thousands of leading research publications, and are used to develop the next generation of micro and nano optics.


FIMMWAVE

FIMMWAVE is a powerful and fully vectorial mode solver for 2D + Z waveguide structures. It is a highly flexible waveguide CAD tool that has the ability to solve for a wide range of materials and complex waveguide geometries as it supports a large number of complementary algorithms.

FIMMPROP

FIMMPROP is a powerful and versatile tool for simulating 2D and 3D optical propagation in waveguides. Through the Eigenmode Expansion Method, it not only provides the simulation result, but also gives a detailed explanation of what's going on within the device, leading to valuable insights that can be used to improve the structures.

OMNISIM

OMNISIM is a robust and versatile simulation tool used for the design and optimization of nano-photonic and plasmonic devices. OMNISIM is the only software package to include both FDTD, FETD and RCWA engines.

PICWAVE

PICWAVE is a photonic circuit (PIC) simulator including a sophisticated physical model for laser diodes and SOAs. The simulator is ideal for developing optoelectronic devices such as tuneable lasers and modulators, then studying their interaction in a larger circuit.

HAROLD

HAROLD is an advanced heterostructure simulator for modeling Fabry-Perot quantum well lasers with near-arbitrary vertical structure and layer compositions. HAROLD also includes a full 3D VCSEL model, taking into account optical, electrical, and thermal effects.

EPIPPROP

EPIPPROP is a unique and innovative tool for the modeling and optimisation of AWGs (arrayed waveguide gratings) and echelle gratings and planar concave gratings in particular for wavelength division multiplexing applications (WDM/DWDM).
