Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of simulation, and in particular to a modulator optoelectronic co-simulation method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of optical communication and optical information processing, modulators are key components for encoding signals onto optical waves. Modulators can be manufactured using a variety of materials, and simulation is crucial for their design and manufacturing. It allows for the preliminary evaluation of modulator performance based on eye diagrams before manufacturing, providing guidance for design improvements.

[0003] Modulators themselves involve technical fields such as optics and circuits, so the simulation of modulators requires both electrical and optical simulations, hence the term optoelectronic joint simulation.

[0004] In the existing technology, the simulation of modulators mainly relies on two methods: the segmented circuit method and the transmission line circuit method, but these methods have significant drawbacks.

[0005] In the segmented circuit method, optical devices are transformed into equivalent circuit devices, and the optical waveguide and electrodes are segmented into an array of equivalent circuit devices to model the propagation of radio frequency waves and optical waves. Simulation is then performed in software such as Verilog-A or SPICE to achieve optoelectronic co-simulation. However, due to the significant physical differences between current-voltage (IV) signals and wave signals, this method struggles to handle the characteristics of wave signals, such as multi-dimensional and bidirectional propagation. In the transmission line circuit method, electrodes are treated using an equivalent circuit model of the transmission line. For electrode dispersion, additional equivalent circuit devices need to be introduced into the transmission line, and convolution calculations are performed in each computational step. Each convolution requires accessing all stored data, making it extremely time-consuming. For silicon photonic modulators, the nonlinear IV equations of the PN junction are also introduced, further increasing computational overhead and complexity. Therefore, this method is inefficient in handling the nonlinear IV relationships and dispersion of electrodes.

[0006] In addition, both of the above methods are material-dependent because they require the creation of specific circuit models for each material, thus lacking versatility.

[0007] It is evident that existing optoelectronic simulation methods are inefficient and highly dependent on materials. Summary of the Invention

[0073] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the application environment of the modulator-optoelectronic co-simulation method in one embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 1 This modulator optoelectronic co-simulation method is applied to a modulator optoelectronic co-simulation system. The method includes a terminal 110 and / or a server 120. The terminal 110 and server 120 are connected via a network. The terminal 110 can be a desktop terminal or a mobile terminal; the mobile terminal can be at least one of a mobile phone, tablet computer, or laptop computer. The server 120 can be a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a modulator optoelectronic co-simulation method is provided. This embodiment mainly applies this method to the above-mentioned... Figure 1 Taking server 120 as an example, the modulator receives radio frequency signals and outputs optical signals. The method of this embodiment is used to simulate the output optical signal of the modulator.

[0076] Reference Figure 2 The modulator optoelectronic co-simulation method includes:

[0077] Step 210: Obtain the radio frequency signal input to the modulator;

[0078] Step 220: Input the radio frequency signal into the radio frequency time-domain coupled mode equation to obtain the forward propagation radio frequency wave amplitude and the reverse propagation radio frequency wave amplitude in the modulator;

[0079] Step 230: Obtain the radio frequency voltage distribution within the modulator based on the forward propagation radio frequency wave amplitude and the reverse propagation radio frequency wave amplitude;

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, time-coupled-mode equations (TCMEs) include radio frequency time-coupled-mode equations and optical wave time-coupled-mode equations.

[0083] Modulators typically consist of two parts: radio frequency electrodes and optical waveguides. In this embodiment of the invention, the optical waveguide is designed as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Due to the phase difference between the two arms of the MZI, the amplitude of the optical signal can be modulated according to the interference of light. To generate the phase difference, the refractive index of the optical waveguide in both arms needs to be changed. Specifically, in silicon optical modulators, a voltage is applied between the G and S electrodes. The voltage on the PN junction changes the distribution of electrons and holes, and the refractive index of the optical waveguide changes according to the plasmon dispersion effect. These PN junctions are arranged in a laterally push-pull configuration, thereby halving the capacitance contributed by the PN junction. The PN junction is formed by doping N-type and P-type regions in the optical waveguide. The N++ and P++ doped regions achieve electrical connection between the electrodes and the PN junction. Similarly, in lithium niobate modulators, a voltage is applied between the G and S electrodes, and the refractive index of the optical waveguide changes according to the Pockels effect of lithium niobate material. In this embodiment of the invention, the time-domain coupled-mode equation (TCME) is derived from Maxwell's equations to describe the nonlinear effects of radio frequency waves and optical waves. Secondly, the nonlinear coefficients in the TCME are obtained by solving and fitting the eigenmodes of radio frequency waves and optical waves. Finally, the difference form of the TCME on a time-space two-dimensional grid is introduced to realize the numerical calculation of the TCME.

The method of this embodiment of the invention simultaneously realizes electrical and optical simulations in the modulator design process, thereby enabling efficient and accurate design and simulation of the modulator, promoting the development of optical communication and optical computing systems. Furthermore, the method of this embodiment of the invention does not rely on specific materials or require the establishment of specific circuit models, thus having wider applicability and higher efficiency.
