چکیده
Optical MEMS have the potential to drastically reduce the size and cost of digital communications and computation systems. However, the multiple technologies (optical, electrical, and mechanical) utilized in optical MEM systems has led to new challenges in the creation of computer aided design tools for these systems. This paper presents a system level opto-electro-mechanical CAD tool, Chatoyant, developed to meet the needs of mixed technology systems designers. We introduce signal models and analysis techniques that enable our tool to support optical MEMS design. We demonstrate these results with the analysis of two mixed-signal systems: a full opto-electronic communications link and an actively aligned optical MEM beam steering system.

Dynamic Simulation of Optical MEM Switches
Micro-optical-electrical-mechanical systems (MOEMS) present a new set of challenges for mixed technology systems on a chip (SoC) designers including the need for mixed-signal multi-domain simulation. We present new modeling techniques for optical and mechanical MEM components and apply these models for improved system-level simulation accuracy of MOEMS switches.
متن کامل16 . 3 A Fast Optical Propagation Technique for Modeling Micro - Optical Systems
As designers become more aggressive in introducing optical components to micro-systems, rigorous optical models are required for system-level simulation tools. Common optical modeling techniques and approximations are not valid for most optical micro-systems, and those techniques that provide accurate simulation are computationally slow. In this paper, we introduce an angular frequency optical ...
