Context Photonic integrated circuits (and especially silicon photonics) are becoming increasingly complex, as fabrication technology is steadily becoming more mature. However, current state-of-the-art design tools are not matching this. In particular, it is very difficult to simulate the photonic circuits in an accurate way, especially when using signals on many optical wavelengths. This is complicated by the effect of fabrication variations, which must be taken into account at the time of design, so it becomes possible to estimate the yield and create a tolerant circuit.
In the new project MALEPHICENT, fully funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO-Vlaanderen), we combine the expertise of the Photonics Research Group (PRG) and the Surrogate Modeling Group (SUMO) to build a new class of photonic models that are efficient and at the same time respect the physical constraints of photonic circuits. We will use advanced machine learning techniques to build such models from simulations and experimental data. These models can be extended to incorporate variability. We will test these models by designing more tolerant photonic circuits and fabricate them in a silicon photonics platform for experimental verification.
