Research on Fast and Accuracy Photonic Integrated Devices and Circuit Simulation Method

In comparison to the well-developed electronic design automation (EDA) tools of microelectronics, the simulation tools of burgeoning photonics are too coarse. Time-assuming and computer memory hungry characters restrict tradition method application on photonic devices and circuits simulation. So, the aim of the proposed research project is to find a high accuracy and efficiency simulation method and models for simulating of photonic integrated devices and circuits. With the previse work of applicant and the support of Accelerate program, the basic theory and simulation frame work will be finished within program duration. After that, the new tool will shorten the design interval and improve the quality of the products, which will reduce the costs. Further, the new tool can be applied to comprehensive simulation platform with additional benefits.
