INTERCONNECT: Time and frequency domain simulation of bidirectional, multimode and multichannel circuit topologies
The demands on optical bandwidth are greater than ever; however, the need to process ever larger amounts of data at high speeds sets challenging targets for current and next generation fiber-optic networks. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) promise to revolutionize the optical network industry by enhancing the transmission capacity of optical fiber communications at reasonable cost. To achieve this goal, PICs are rapidly becoming more complex, involving an exponentially increasing number of components. In the past, a similar increase in complexity in electronic chip design drove the need for automation that encompasses and supports all levels of abstraction present in the design and verification of integrated electronic design [1]. Today, the increasing complexity of PICs is driving a similar need fully automated design systems [2-3].
