Abstract
Internet success and ever-improving microprocessor performance have brought a need for new short range optical communications. The challenge is to integrate electronics, optoelectronic components and optical components on the same chip. Such assembly creates new constraints due to the interactions between different aspects (electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical) that designers have to deal with. Although specific tools have been used to design each module separately, there is no multi-domain simulator or design framework that can meet with such constraints. This paper describes how we can use VHDL-AMS to create a library of hierarchical models and to simulate optoelectronic devices and systems. These models can then be used to propagate specifications from the system down to the physical layer in a top-down approach and to predict the influence of physical parameters on the global performance in a bottom-up approach.
