This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes a development effort to show the feasibility of an integrated Opto-Electronic Computer Aided Design (OECAD) package incorporating the below elements. Such an integrated package will support the goals of both the government and commercial high-speed communications industries by allowing substantially accelerated development of advanced optoelectronic components. Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools have played a critical role in the spectacular advancements over the last three decades in the area of microelectronics. CAD tools for optical circuit design are in a far less advanced state than their microelectronic counterparts. Optical circuits and networks have shown exceptional promise for providing rapid, secure and precise delivery of information. However, optoelectronics has not yet reached its potential, due in part to a lack of significant development and simulation tools. With the expected growth of optoelectronic (OE) components including transmitters, receivers and amplifiers and at 22% annually, efficient, accurate and inexpensive CAD of OE circuits is required. The U.S. competitiveness in these endeavors hinges on swift implementation by an American company. High-performance, user-friendly software will be critical to success. This award is supported by the Small Business Innovation Research Program and the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目提出了一项发展努力，以显示包含以下要素的综合光电计算机辅助设计（经合组织）一揽子方案的可行性。这种集成封装将支持政府和商业高速通信行业的目标，允许大大加快先进光电元件的发展。计算机辅助设计（CAD）工具在过去三十年微电子领域的惊人进步中发挥了关键作用。用于光学电路设计的CAD工具远不如其微电子同行先进。光学电路和网络在提供快速、安全和精确的信息传递方面显示出了非凡的前景。然而，光电子学尚未发挥其潜力，部分原因是缺乏重要的开发和仿真工具。随着光电（OE）组件（包括发射器，接收器和放大器）的预期增长，每年以22%的速度增长，需要高效，准确和廉价的OE电路CAD。美国在这些努力中的竞争力取决于美国公司的迅速实施。高性能、用户友好的软件将是成功的关键。该奖项由小企业创新研究计划和刺激竞争研究实验计划（EPSCoR）支持。
