Opto-electronic Design

CIP provides contract R&D from concept through to pilot production for a large range of optoelectronic components. As part of this CIP offers a world leading device design consultancy. Our hands on experience with growth and
fabrication processes of a wide range of components, means we are able to quickly identify practical design solutions.This is backed up by a strong device modelling capability with a suite of simulation tools.

Capabilities & Experience

CIP's engineers have developed and produced a whole host of optoelectronic components, from PIN diodes for high reliability submarine systems
through to world leading 40 Gbit/s electroabsorption modulators and
semiconductor optical amplifiers.These same engineers have also transferred many of these components to full production with customers.This experience allows us to design for low cost reliable solutions from the outset. Whether it is a full component requirement or just part of the process that is required CIP can provide a solution that meets your needs.

Device Examples

CIP offers a service which stretches from material design, through mask layout through to full fabrication, testing and reliability screening of a wide range on InP based components based on both ridge waveguide and buried
heterostructure geometries. Some example device types are listed below:

• FP and DFB lasers
• DBR and widely tuneable lasers
• PIN diodes and APD detectors
• Electroabsorption modulators
• Semiconductor optical amplifiers
• 1480nm Pump lasers
• Monolithic integrated components, e.g. ILM's and
  switch arrays

The CIP team also have extensive experience in the design of optical mode expanders and precision alignment structures that enable both low cost integration and packaging. Coupled with all of these device types that can
been grown and fabricated by CIP is our ability to fully test and characterise devices and optimise the designs using custom and commercially available modelling tools.

Device Design Capabilities

• Waveguide design using a range of variable grid finite difference, beam propagation and mode matching techniques
• Electronic design using finite difference Poisson solver and circuit simulation software
• Quantum well simulations for advanced device structures
• Laser design software
• Mask layout software compatible with GDSII
• Capability to design bespoke software
