Application of silicon photonics is becoming very widespread in high bandwidth optical communication. The electronic-photonic cointegration is a prerequisite for bringing out the best performance out of photonics. This paper gives a view on the different challenges in silicon photonics and the reason why simulation is important for predicting the total behavior of the silicon photonic system. It gives an awareness to the existing tools for simulation and how they should advance to help the electronic-photonic designers.

Abstract


Application of silicon photonics is becoming very widespread in high bandwidth optical communication. The electronic-photonic cointegration is a prerequisite for bringing out the best performance out of photonics. This paper gives a view on the different challenges in silicon photonics and the reason why simulation is important for predicting the total behavior of the silicon photonic system. It gives an awareness to the existing tools for simulation and how they should advance to help the electronic-photonic designers.
