About
Silicon photonics systems integrate photonic components such as optical waveguides, couplers, resonators, photodetectors, etc. along with electronic components on the same silicon chip to realize high-bandwidth, high-density, and low-power communication via wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). This talk will address the challenges of modeling and simulating silicon photonics WDM transceivers in SystemVerilog, which contain photonic devices for WDM signaling, analog interface circuits for pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), and digital controllers for temperature calibration. It will show that the XMODEL’s way of expressing analog signals in the Laplace domain and computing them in an event-driven fashion can be extended to simulating optical waves, even when they are treated as ~200 THz frequency signals. The talk will be given from a circuit designer’s perspective, and those without prior background in silicon photonics are all welcome to join.
Speaker
Prof. Jaeha Kim
Seoul National University (SNU)
Jaeha Kim is currently Professor at Seoul National University (SNU), Seoul, Korea and his research interests include low-power mixed-signal circuits and their design methodologies. He founded Scientific Analog, Inc. in 2015, developing EDA tools for analog/mixed-signal modeling and simulation in SystemVerilog. He received B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Seoul National University in 1997, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1999 and 2003, respectively. Prior to joining SNU, Prof. Kim was with Stanford University as Acting Assistant Professor, with Rambus, Inc. as Principal Engineer, and with Inter-university Semiconductor Research Center (ISRC) at SNU as Post-doctoral Researcher. Prof. Kim is a recipient of the Takuo Sugano award for outstanding far-east paper at 2005 ISSCC and is cited as Top 100 Technology Leader of Korea in 2020 by the National Academy of Engineering of Korea.
