Alcyon’s IP Library for ANT NanoSOI^TM

Applied Nanotools (ANT) and Alcyon Photonics have joined forces to enhance the user experience and offer a powerful product portfolio. The Alcyon's Library for ANT NanoSOI^TMoffers a collection of high performance building blocks, with components that attain broad bandwidths and efficient polarization control while maintaing feature sizes according to fabrication standards. The Alcyon's Library for ANT NanoSOI^TM contains a set of validated devices covering from basic functionalities (tapers, s-bends, waveguide routing…) to complex devices such as mode and polarization division multiplexers, broadband directional couplers and polarization beam splitters.

Documentation

For a comprehensive information of the Alcyon's Library for ANT NanoSOI^TM contents and building blocks performance, please go to the Alcyon's Library for ANT NanoSOI^TM documentation available at the Alcyon’s website downloads area.

The documentation also offers guidance and practical notes related to the library, like the steps to follow to fabricate a chip with Alcyon’s blocks included or the compact models.

Summary of Building Blocks

The following table presents a Summary of the Building Blocks validated with ANT foundry and their simulated nominal performance:

Information about the validation and experimental performance of the building blocks can be found by downloading the >Alcyon's Library for ANT NanoSOI^TM whitepaper, which will be SOON AVAILABLE at the resources section of Alcyon’s website.
