Computer-aided design of free-space optoelectronic interconnection �FSOI� systems

Abstract

This paper presents a system capable of static and dynamic simulations of heterogeneous opto-electronic systems. It is capable of modeling Gaussian optical signal propagation with mechanical tolerancing at the system level. We present results which demonstrate the system’s ability to predict the effects of various component parameters, such as detector geometry, and system level parameters, such as alignment tolerances, on system performance. 1
