Optical Solvers for Integrated Optical Components
With increasing demand for optical bandwidth, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology is undergoing a growth rate very similar to the one seen by electronic integrated circuits over the last half century. In order to keep up with the increasing number of components and circuit complexity, efficient and reliable automated design tools are necessary to carry out virtual prototyping, improve yields, lower development costs and shorten design cycles.The combination of sub-wavelength features and large device geometries characteristic of integrated optical components can present serious challenges for simulation tools and often force designers into undesirable tradeoffs between accuracy and computational time.
