This paper addresses the need for self-consistent simulation of mixed electrical and optical
circuits and systems. Drawing on the use of modified nodal analysis (MNA) techniques …

Recently, a number of successful free-space chip-to-chip and board-to-board optical
interconnects have been demonstrated. Here, we present some of the design rules that can …

The use of optical interconnects for communication between points on a microchip is
motivated by system-level interconnect modeling showing the saturation of metal wire …

Optical technologies are ubiquitous in telecommunications networks and systems, providing
multiple wavelength channels of transport at 2.5-10 Gbps data rates over single fiber-optic …

A comparison of numerical analyses with experimental measurements suggests that both
the ray-tracing and the Gaussian beam-propagation models overestimate the misalignment …

Over the last decade significant progress in optoelectronic devices and their integration
techniques have made Free-Space Optical Interconnects (FSOI) one of the few physical …

This paper describes a computationally efficient method to simulate mixed-domain systems
under the requirements of a system-level framework. The approach is the combined use of …

Applications such as optical data storage, optical computing, and optical interconnects
require optical systems that manipulate binary-valued images. Such an optical system can …

In this thesis, we determine and implement an optical propagation technique suitable for
system-level simulation of optical micro-systems. The Rayleigh-Sommerfeld formulation is …

We report on the performance of an intra-multichip-module free-space optical interconnect
that integrates microlenses and a deflection prism above a dense optoelectronic chip, under …
