1. A computer-implemented method for designing an optical application specific integrated circuit, comprising the steps of:

  • selecting a first optical device from a plurality of different optical devices;

    placing a first device icon on a working area of a display;

    assigning a first set of data identifying characteristics of said first optical device to said first device icon;

    selecting a second optical device from said plurality of different optical devices;

    placing a second device icon on said working area of said display;

    assigning a second set of data identifying characteristics of said second optical device to said second device icon;

    selecting a desired interconnect from a plurality of different interconnects;

    placing an interconnect icon on said working area of said display between an output port on one of said first device icon or said second device icon and an input port on the other of said first device icon or said second device icon;

    assigning a third set of data identifying characteristics of said desired interconnect to said interconnect icon; and

    selecting a group of parameters common to said first and second optical devices and to said desired interconnect, said group of common parameters forming a fourth set of data, said fourth set of data being stored separately from said first, second, and third sets of identifying data.
