A Methodology of Building a Platform to Evaluate the Loss and the Crosstalk in Silicon Photonic Interconnects on Chip

The evaluation of the loss and the crosstalk is essential for the power budget and performance guarantee. In addition, the speed of the evaluation is important to verify different designs and proposals. However, to ensure the accuracy in the professional tools, the speed is constrained and thus not efficient for the evaluation of different designs. Thus, this work proposes a methodology of building a platform to evaluate the loss and crosstalk in silicon photonic interconnects on chip. Compared to the professional tools, the proposed methodology can offer faster evaluation results, although the evaluation accuracy is to be improved further.
