Optoelectronic Computer-Aided Design Models
Abstract
This program has focused upon two areas: 1) development of computer aided design models for RF/optical links and 2) development of low cost, wide bandwidth optoelectronic integrated circuits. We have used existing CAD tools to model an optical subcarrier multiplexed (0SCM) communication network to study the effects of RF component integration on system performance and network scalability. The simulation approach presented here enables us to study the effect of RF component integration and determine critical design criteria in order to enhance System performance. Integration of RF/Optical interfaces will allow deeper penetration of RF and lightwave component technology into optical packet networks. We have begun to integrate InP based electronic and optoelectornic devices (using substrate removal techniques) with commercially available GaAs circuitry for emerging wireless applications between 1 and 100 GRz. Our effort includes a) Optimization of substrate removal and bonding for InP material devices to preserve DC and RF characteristics and b) Suitable host substrate passivation for optimization of the high speed devices.
