A Verilog-A Compact Model for Four-Wave Mixing Supporting Electronic-Photonic Co-Simulation

A Verilog-A compact model for four-wave mixing (FWM) is proposed in this brief. It is fully compatible with existing EDA platforms, and can support the rapid electronicphotonic co-simulation. The model avoids the description of the complicated physical process of the FWM, and provides an easy way for system designers to monitor the changes of the key optical parameters, thus accelerating the co-design and co-optimization of the hybrid systems containing FWM process. The framework and the key derivations for modeling are presented, and the simulation results of our model agrees well with numerical fullmap results.
