Keysight expands photonic design automation portfolio with system-level simulation. June 16, 2026 Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced that it completed the acquisition of VPIphotonics on June 9, 2026, adding system-level simulation to its photonic design automation portfolio and enabling optical and electrical engineers to advance designs from component to complete link within a single environment. Demand for silicon photonics and co-packaged optics continue to grow across data center and AI infrastructure markets. As complexity rises and timelines tighten, engineering teams need simulation that carries a design across every domain without the manual handoffs that slow development and introduce error.

RSoft handles device-level simulation for waveguides, gratings, modulators and laser sources. Photonic Designer delivers comprehensive circuit-level design and verification for photonic integrated circuits. The acquisition of VPIphotonics now strengthens Keysight's circuit-level design capabilities and extends its photonic design automation portfolio to the system level with VPIphotonics Design Suite. This will enable Keysight to deepen and significantly enhance the design workflow by leveraging industry-leading solutions that the two...
