Abstract :
This paper presents some examples of behavioral model hierarchies for optronic and photonic devices. The methods used to overcome the limitations of VHDL-AMS in modeling propagation phenomena are described. This work is part of an ongoing development of mixed-domain simulation tools for the design of optical links in a standard EDA framework
