Abstract

This work addresses the issue of circuit simulation and photonic device modeling for mixed electronic/photonic VLSI. We present a basic approach to establishing the mixed electronic/photonic circuit simulator Photonic SPICE, where optical devices and interconnects are represented in terms of electrical equivalents. We also present results on the compact models of vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) implemented in AIM-Spice. The VCSEL model is based on first-order rate equations that are expressed in terms of an electrical equivalent circuit. The model accounts for the VCSEL self-heating effects.
