PIC design and custom PDKs for data center interconnects

This paper explores a simulation framework that combines Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) design and system-level simulation, ensuring seamless interoperability, customization, and IP protection. We demonstrate its effectiveness with two examples: an 800G WDM silicon-photonics-based PAM-4 system and a 4 Tbps coherent transmission system using a quantum-dot mode-locked laser and thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs).

Abstract

This paper explores a simulation framework that combines Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) design and system-level simulation, ensuring seamless interoperability, customization, and IP protection. We demonstrate its effectiveness with two examples: an 800G WDM silicon-photonics-based PAM-4 system and a 4 Tbps coherent transmission system using a quantum-dot mode-locked laser and thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs).
