Machine Learning Optimization of Surface-Normal Optical Modulators for SWIR Time-of-Flight 3-D Camera

Surface-normal optical modulators based on multiple quantum wells are attractive for an increasing number of applications, including photonic links such as on-chip optical interconnects. The design of such structures however is still based on intuition and experience rather than on a quantitative assessment of the device and system performance, due to the extreme complexity of the device behavior ...
