Abstract
The combination of phase-change materials and integrated photonics has led to the development of new forms of all-optical devices, including
photonic memories, arithmetic and logic processors, and synaptic and neuronal mimics. Such devices can be readily fabricated into photonic
integrated circuits, so potentially delivering large-scale all-optical arithmetic-logic units and neuromorphic processing chips. To facilitate in
the design and optimization of such large-scale systems, and to aid in the understanding of device and system performance, fast yet accurate
computer models are needed. Here, we describe the development of a behavioral modeling tool that meets such requirements, being capable
of essentially instantaneous modeling of the write, erase, and readout performance of various integrated phase-change photonic devices,
including those for synaptic and neuronal mimics.
