Abstract :
A three dimensional free-space optical library is developed and implemented using C language inside a SPICE simulator for accurate and realistic co-simulation with electronic and electromechanical elements. A parametric, transient, and Monte-Carlo simulation of a 2times2 optical switch is demonstrated using this library
