Hi,

Agilent and VPIphotonics have teamed up to offer a free webcast:

Title:

Opto-Electronic Signal Integrity on Optical Fiber Chip-to-Chip Links

Abstract:

Physical limitations of copper chip-to-chip interconnects are driving demand 
for a new class of link based on opto-electronics and optical fibers. 

The performance of electronic components within or around an optical 
communications system may have a significant impact on the performance of the 
system as a whole. In most optical communications systems simulations, 
systems-level models are used to represent the behavior of electrical 
components (e.g. drivers, coders, receivers, clock and data recovery), 
nonlinearity, gain and frequency-dependent functions. A better understanding of 
the interactions between the electronic and photonic parts of a link can be 
obtained if full electronic circuit models can be incorporated directly into 
the systems simulation. Having full electronic models in the optical simulation 
also saves the time required for abstracting the electronic model to a 
behavioral model at each design iteration.

In this joint Webcast, we will address these challenges using the co-simulation 
link between and Advanced Design System from Agilent EEsof EDA and from 
VPIphotonics. ADS is a powerful electronic circuit design environment that is 
perfect for modeling high-frequency analog and digital circuits within optical 
communications systems. Furthermore, it has extensive libraries of components 
and materials for high-frequency design. This interface calls the ADS simulator 
executable directly from VPItransmissionMaker or VPIcomponentMaker, so that the 
best technologies for photonic and electronic design work seamlessly together.
