Synopsys has broadened its software portfolio to include optical design solutions through the acquisition of RSoft Design Group from Synopsis. This move signifies Synopsys’ expansion beyond its traditional focus on electronic design automation (EDA) and into the realm of photonics and optical systems design. RSoft’s tools are used for the simulation and design of optical components, systems, and networks. Integrating these capabilities allows Synopsys to address the growing demand for co-design and co-simulation of electronic and photonic systems, particularly in applications like data centers, automotive, and telecommunications, where optical interconnects and sensors are increasingly important. This acquisition positions Synopsys to provide a more comprehensive design platform catering to the converging domains of electronics and photonics.
