Abstract

Abstract. We propose an equivalent circuit modeling for a chip-on-carrier and for two encapsulated semicon-ductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The models include main parasitic leaks and were used in reflection and trans-mission simulations, showing good agreement with experimental data. The model for each SOA is validated,comparing the simulated results with experimental data from SOAs operating as high-speed electro-opticalswitches, reaching rise times below 200 ps. © 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) [DOI: 10.1117/1.OE.54.11.114107] Keywords: optical communications; electro-optics; switching; simulations.Paper 150396 received Mar. 26, 2015; accepted for publication Oct. 28, 2015; published online Nov. 30, 2015. 1 IntroductionDigital computing systems require high-speed interconnec-tions between processors and from processors to their cor-responding memories and processing nodes. Performancescaling of such digital systems demands interconnects withhigh bandwidth, high density, low latency, long reach, andhigh energy efficiency.
