Simulation of optical interconnects in high-performance computing and communications systems

Optical interconnects play an increasingly important role in high-performance computing and communications. Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are essential for performance analyses and component specifications for optical interconnects. This paper discusses circuit- and system-level models and simulation methods for optical interconnects consisting of optical devices such as laser diodes, photoreceivers, optical fibers, and other optoelectronic devices.
