PhotoCAD User Manual

PhotoCAD is written in Python, a language widely used in the photonics industry, and the algorithms used to generate the layout are carefully optimized and researched by the developers, giving it a unique advantage over similar tools at home and abroad, such as no distortion or tearing of the layout at any angle. fnpcell and link are the two main tools of PhotoCAD, which correspond to the parametric cell layout and circuit-level layout in photonics chip layout design.

For beginners who wants to create a PIC by themselves by using PhotoCAD, we recommend to look through the Guides section, and you can get a quick glimpse from creating PCells to building your own circuits.

There are also several applications created by Latitudeds in the EXAMPLES section, users could also browse the examples to get an imagination how can PhotoCAD realize your ideas.
