The integration of electronic and photonic devices on the same chip offers performance advantages in terms of speed, bandwidth, immunity to interference, power dissipation and interconnection density. This research explores algorithms and tools for simulation of optoelectronic Integrated Circuit (OEIC) designs. The goal is to simulate equally accurately both optical and electronic devices in the same circuit. Both lumped and distributed-constant elements are included in the model. Existing models for optoelectronic devices such as light emitters, detectors, and electro-optic modulators are being refined and incorporated in the simulator. New models are being developed for optical interconnect and for those optoelectronic devices for which no models suitable for time-for domain simulation currently exist. A simulation environment, capable of handling circuits with optical and electronic devices is being constructed.

在同一芯片上集成电子和光子器件在速度、带宽、抗干扰性、功耗和互连密度方面具有性能优势。本研究探索用于光电集成电路(OEIC)设计仿真的算法和工具。目标是在同一电路中同样精确地模拟光学和电子设备。该模型同时考虑了集总单元和分布常数单元。现有的光电设备模型，如光发射器、探测器和电光调制器，正在进行改进并纳入模拟器中。目前正在为光互连和那些目前没有适用于时间域模拟的模型的光电子器件开发新的模型。一个能够处理具有光学和电子设备的电路的仿真环境正在建设中。
