Abstract

The exponentially growing number of components in complex large-scale Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) requires the necessity of photonic design tools with system-level abstraction. This work addresses the modeling of large-scale integrated PICs from a system-level perspective. Behavioral models of ring resonators, multimode interference devices, optical waveguides and other fundamental building blocks of PICs will be presented and combined to demonstrate several application examples of photonic circuit designs.
