Aspic™ is a fast and accurate simulator for the analysis, the modeling and the design of photonics integrated circuits.
In Aspic™, circuits are built as a collection of building blocks that do not require the description at physical level. Its model-based approach allows a high abstraction level, focusing on circuit functionality and performance.
Arbitrary large circuits are conceived, designed, analyzed and translated in mask layouts with few clicks.
Whatever your field, Aspic™ will be your precious and powerful tool for the development of optical devices and circuits, exploting experimental and process data always in the spirit of “design for high yield and reliability”

Aspic is also commercialized by PhoeniX BV. Please visit PhoeniX website for more information.
OSA Fellow, he is Associate Professor at Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria – Politecnico di Milano – where he leads the group of Photonic Devices and teaches the master course “Photonics Devices”.
With a background in microwaves, his field of research is in the analysis, design, characterization and exploitation of passive integrated optical devices for telecom and sensing. He has been one of the pioneers of the slow light concept and its exploitation in the linear and nonlinear domain. He is currently contributing to define the new schemes of generic photonic foundries in Europe. In 2008 he founded the company Filarete, for the development and commercialization of the first circuit simulator for integrated optical circuits, ASPIC.
He holds 13 international patents in the field of integrated optics and components and he is author and co-author of over 90 publications on the major international journals.
Daniele Melati (1986) is a postdoctoral researcher at Politecnico di Milano. He received the M.Sc. degree in telecommunication engineering in 2010 (110/110) and the Ph.D.
degree (cum laude) in information engineering in 2014 from Politecnico di Milano. In the same year he obtained a position as Post-Doc researcher in the Photonics
Devices Group at the same university. In 2012/2013, he temporarily joined the Photonic Integration Group at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands,

His main research interests in the fields of photonics include design, modelling, and characterization of both passive and active optical components for the development of generic photonic foundries. He focuses in particular on the development of advanced characterization techniques and analysis approaches to enable high circuit complexity
and assessment of the production processes. He actively collaborates with the company Filarete to the development of the circuit simulator for optical circuits ASPIC. In 2013 he collaborated as teaching assistant to the course ‘Optical Components and Circuits’ at Politecnico di Milano. Since 2009 he was involved in the collaborative project EuroPIC (EU FP7, 2009-2012) and he is currently involved in the projects PARADIGM (EU FP7, 2010-14) and BBOI (EU FP7, 2013-2016).
