Coupled Dynamic Thermo-Optical Analysis and Compact Modelling of Self-Heating in Ring Modulator

A thermal RC-network is presented for compact modelling of self-heating in a Si photonic ring modulator. The model captures the non-linear thermo-optical dynamics at low frequencies (<1 GHz), and accurately reproduces nanosecond-scale variations in optical transmission as observed in experiments.
