“…PicWAVE uses a time-domain travelling wave (TDTW) optical model [6], and RSoft Optsim uses SSM [7]. There are also approaches that use Modified Node Analysis (MNA), such as OptiSPICE [8,9], which allows simulation of mixed electronical and optical circuits. All of these new tools will become indispensible in the future when designing and optimizing large optical circuits.…”

We present a tool that aids in the modeling of optical circuits, both in the frequency and in the time domain. The tool is based on the definition of a node, which can have both an instantaneous input-output relation, as well as different state variables (e.g. temperature and carrier density) and differential equations for these states. Furthermore, each node has access to part of its input history, allowing the creation of delay lines or digital filters. Additionally, a node can contain sub-nodes, allowing the creation of hierarchical networks. This tool can be used in numerous applications such as frequency-domain analysis of optical ring filters, time-domain analysis of optical amplifiers, microdisks and microcavities. Although we mainly use this tool to model optical circuits, it can also be used to model other classes of dynamical systems, such as electrical circuits and neural networks.

“…The inherent complexity of such a circuit means that a key to the use of optical integrated devices such as micro-rings will be the effective use of design tools [2]. This paper will present the use of an integrated simulation tool consisting of a system level simulator OptiSystem [3] and time-domain spice compatible optoelectronic circuit/system simulator (OptiSPICE) [4] for the simulation and analysis of ring base 4X4 switches. The primary circuit level simulation is performed in OptiSPICE as the self-consistent MNA formulation is ideal for solving circuits with feedback and coupling as is present when using rings.…”

“…A different approach is to use the Modified Nodal Analysis (MNA), as used in electronic simulation tools, and extend this to the optical domain by mapping power, wavelength and phase onto voltages and currents, see e.g. [4,5].…”
