Webinar: "Modeling and Optimizing PICs for Datacenter Interconnects"
Date: 5 March 2025
Time: 5:00 PM CET
Duration: 1 hour
Organizers: PIC Photonic Integrated Circuits & VPIphotonics
Datacenter traffic is growing exponentially, driven by demanding applications like AI/ML Training, Cloud Computing, and Video Streaming. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have become an enabling technology in the rapid expansion of datacenter connectivity due to their lower cost, lower power consumption, small footprint, and high-speed performance.
One of the main challenges of utilizing PICs for datacenter applications is the design complexity associated with their integration into a fiber-optic communication system. Specifically, impairments stemming from the PIC may not be recognized until its performance validation in the application of interest. As a result, optimizing the PIC parameters in the context of the entire system is crucial to making informed decisions about technology choices and design alternatives.
In this webinar, we explore the photonic design process at both the circuit and the system level. Join us to learn how to automate the design of PICs and simulate high-speed optical transmission systems using
VPIphotonics Design Suite™

Network Planning: "Versatile Optical Network Planning"
Abstract: Planning today's and future optical networks requires versatile, powerful, and flexible network planning tools, which capture network infrastructure and equipment information,
support and automatize design tasks, and compare and archive found solutions. They should support a vendor- and technology-agnostic approach to equipment modeling and performance assessment, which permits
fast and efficient configuration of scalable networks, accounts for traffic demands, and optimizes spectrum utilization and equipment cost.
We present the general concept of such a tool and highlight its
operation by addressing several planning scenarios. We discuss a multi-band, multi-span DWDM network accounting for impairments such as ISRS and showcase metro network topologies. In addition, we present
a planning approach for incorporating optical satellite networks into existing terrestrial network designs and show how interoperability with numerical system simulations can further enhance the
capabilities of such a tool.

Photonics for RAN: "Fiber-optic link extensions by embedded THz wireless connections"
Abstract: THz wireless links with carrier frequencies beyond the W band represent an attractive way to extend existing fiber-optic network infrastructure. Such system configurations are advantageous for broadband
access networks in dense urban areas, ad hoc networks of large events, or applications where fiber cable deployment is impractical. The design of these hybrid networks requires special attention, as the THz wireless propagation
characteristics are affected by weather and atmospheric effects influencing the signal performance dynamically.
We investigate within the collaborative project AI-NET-PROTECT alternatives for link architectures and analog interfaces to enable seamless interconnection between the optical fiber and the THz wireless extender of the hybrid
links. We present statistical information about weather conditions to derive channel models for wireless transmission and analyze its impact on system performance. Additionally, we demonstrate the applicability of variable rate
and spectral efficient modulation formats and the robustness of conventional DSP algorithms exclusively developed for optical fiber transmission when deployed to the combined fiber-optical/THz-wireless link.

From Waveguides to Optical Transmission Systems – A Comprehensive Training Series (Summer 2022)
29 August - 9 September 2022, online
Simulation of Classical & Quantum Communications over FSO Satellite Links
Free space optical (FSO) communication technology based on the optical signal transmission through a free-space channel has gained significant interest in recent years. FSO satellite links have the potential
to establish a global all-optical communication network that could cope with the increasing demands for high data rates and communication capacity. Moreover, satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD)
could provide secure and private communication between distant users.
VPIphotonics Design Suite™ offers advanced means for simulation of both classical and quantum optical communication systems for terrestrial and satellite FSO links. In this webinar, we focus on modeling aspects of FSO signal transmission in ground-to-satellite, satellite-to-ground, and intersatellite links. We will also work through a few live demos of application examples and investigate the FSO system performance in presence of such adverse effects as atmospheric scintillation, attenuation, beam diffraction, and pointing errors. In addition, we discuss the satellite-based quantum key distribution and demonstrate how the performance of the QKD link depends on a satellite's position and other link parameters.

VPIphotonics at Optica Technology Showcase
13 - 14 April 2022
»"The Photonic Design Workflow" presented by Chris Maloney, 13th April 2022 at 10am ET
Abstract: One of the biggest challenges faced by photonic design and systems engineers is effectively utilizing the variety of software design tools needed to accomplish specific design or modelling
studies. Depending on the scope of the design task, it is important to distinguish between levels of abstraction and provide more or less detail to sections of the simulation as needed. This could be accomplished
by using photonic foundry PDK building blocks to model specific components within a full optical system or by providing a full optical system simulation as a building block to electronic design automation tools for
full end-to-end link simulation. We will discuss a comprehensive photonic design workflow that integrates design and simulation techniques ranging from optical waveguides and fibers to full optical communication
systems that is interoperable with a wide variety of 3rd party software solutions.

Data Centres / PONs: "AI-enabled fibre-optic access networks for smart cities"
Abstract: The collaborative R&D project KIGLIS envisions artificial intelligence (AI) enabled fiber-optic communications for smart cities. It targets a considerable increase in data rates
with almost identical hardware costs using AI methods. Dynamic bandwidth allocation and specific latency requirements will enable multiple access to passive optical networks (PON).
We present the performance limitations of different PON solutions based on direct-detection and coherent reception for up to 100 Gb/s and 31.5 dB power budget. We demonstrate effective electro-optical
converted signal processing optimization using machine learning (ML) techniques. We show that sufficient receiver sensitivity and dispersion tolerance can be achieved by combining a low-chirp optical
transmitter in the O-band and simplified receiver-side feed-forward equalization (EQ) in a PAM4 configuration. In C-band, ML-based-assisted EQ can reach the stringent power budget PON requirements when
both coherent and direct-detected systems are employed.
Optical Link Design Automation from Access to Core Networks
Recent growth in the deployment of xHaul networks including metro and core networks triggers the application of very different technologies to support the increase in link distances and
traffic. Critical network design constraints include dense wavelength division multiplexing (D)WDM of channels operating at different data rates, and the deployment of optical amplifiers
and dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) to meet power and dispersion budget requirements. Cost-optimized planning of such networks is a challenging task considering the diverse
equipment constraints. In this webinar we demonstrate an automated network design that efficiently addresses the challenges and requirements for various types of networks.

Paper 12027-5: "Transmission-aware multiple lightpath reconfiguration in flexgrid optical networks"
Abstract: We present an algorithmic approach that offers an efficient way of multiple lightpaths reconfiguration, either for increased traffic requests, or lightpath restoration. It permits the building of a feasible optical network design considering the available spectrum, traffic
demand characteristics, network topology, equipment configurations, and engineering constraints. We show the employment of methods for calculating and provisioning multiple lightpaths. Our approach is flexible enough to accommodate optical network topologies of different types and sizes. The result
is a lightpath configuration that is optimized for spectrum utilization and GSNR degradation.

Title: "Fabrication tolerance-aware schematic-driven PIC design"
Abstract: PIC fabrication tolerances are inevitable and strongly degrade device yield, unless their impact on overall performance characteristics is considered during the design
process. We present a general-purpose schematic-driven design framework that provides easy access to statistical performance techniques. By introducing a novel method that allows for the
identification of critical light paths and applying automated phase compensation inside the models, the analysis of fabrication tolerances on-wafer and between wafers is significantly
simplified. We demonstrate its application in several PIC designs including complex photonics-based neural networks.

Paper 11690-2: "Schematic-driven PIC design process considering manufacturing tolerances"
Abstract: Inevitable manufacturing tolerances strongly degrade the fabrication yield of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), unless their effect on overall performance characteristics is considered and
mitigated during the design process. We present a general purpose schematic-driven design framework that provides easy access to statistical performance techniques such as sensitivity, corner and yield analysis.
It supports the analysis of statistical parameter variations due to manufacturing tolerances on-waver and between wavers, and delivers valuable insights into the dependency of structural parameters on the overall
PIC performance. We demonstrate its application on complex PIC designs comprising up to hundreds of photonic building blocks.
