Intensity Spread Analysis of Programmable Photonic Circuits with Parasitics

Small stochastic imperfections in the phase and coupling (<; 1%) of tunable components in programmable photonics circuits introduce unwanted interferences deteriorating their frequency response. Performing Monte-Carlo simulations, we investigate such imperfections for different routings of light...

Summary:Small stochastic imperfections in the phase and coupling (<; 1%) of tunable components in programmable photonics circuits introduce unwanted interferences deteriorating their frequency response. Performing Monte-Carlo simulations, we investigate such imperfections for different routings of light through a 7-cells hexagonal mesh with different biasing schemes.
