Abstract

In order to develop and manufacture optical integrated circuits, a common environment for integrated photonic and optronic design is required. In this paper, we show that it is possible to use VHDL-AMS to model optical integrated devices, and that sufficient accuracy can be achieved while retaining simulation times compatible with system-level design. Models of parallel waveguides and Y-couplers are given and microring resonators are studied. Finite-elements methods have been used in order to validate the established models.
