V. Liberali et al., ELECTROOPTICAL DEVICE MODELS FOR ELECTRICAL SIMULATORS, Analog integrated circuits and signal processing, 10(1-2), 1996, pp. 119-132
This paper describes the modeling for the analysis of electro-optical
devices using a conventional electrical simulator. The proposed approa
ch is intended for the analysis of optical sensor systems, which have
optical and electronic devices integrated on the same silicon chip. Mo
dels have been developed using a hardware description language for the
following devices: the LED, the photodiode and the absorbing medium.
Suitable approximations allow the models to be accurate with a limited
number of parameters while the computation time is kept sufficiently
short. Simulation results show good agreement between numerical analys
is and experimental data previously reported in the literature.
