| contents | Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) offer tremendous advantages in bandwidth, parallelism, and energy efficiency, making them essential for emerging applications in artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), sensing, and communications. However, the design of modern PICs, which now integrate hundreds to thousands of components, remains largely manual, resulting in inefficiency, poor scalability, and susceptibility to errors. To address these challenges, we propose PoLaRIS, a comprehensive Intelligent Electronic-Photonic Design Automation (EPDA) framework that spans both device-level synthesis and system-level physical layout. PoLaRIS combines a robust, fabrication-aware inverse design engine with a routing-informed placement and curvy-aware detailed router, enabling the automated generation of design rule violation (DRV)-free and performance-optimized layouts. By unifying physics-driven optimization with machine learning and domain-specific algorithms, PoLaRIS significantly accelerates PIC development, lowers design barriers, and lays the groundwork for scalable photonic system design automation. |
