Application of quasi-static method of moments for the design of OC-192 and OC-768 fiber optic integrated circuits

A novel global layout modeling technique based on a quasi-static method of moments (MoM) analysis for the design of 10 and 40 Gbit/sec fiber optic integrated circuits is presented. Theory of the quasi-static MoM technique is reviewed and validated for millimeter wave applications. This technique enables rigorous circuit/layout co-simulation with minimum computational resources compared with traditional electromagnetic solvers. Excellent agreement between simulated and measured results is found in both time and frequency domains.
