Enabling data-driven and bidirectional model development in Verilog-A for photonic devices
<|reference_start|>Enabling data-driven and bidirectional model development in Verilog-A for photonic devices: We present a method to model photonic components in Verilog-A by introducing bidirectional signaling through a single port. To achieve this, the concept of power waves and scattering parameters from electromagnetism are employed. As a consequence, one can simultaneously transmit forward and backward propagating waves on a single wire while also capturing realistic, measurement-backed response of photonic components in Verilog-A. We demonstrate examples to show the efficacy of the proposed technique in accounting for critical effects in photonic integrated circuits such as Fabry-Perot cavity resonance, reflections to lasers, etc. Our solution makes electronic-photonic co-simulation more intuitive and accurate.<|reference_end|>
