Addressing practical issues with banded-variables in an MNA-based optoelectronic simulation framework

Abstract

This paper discusses practical considerations and implications related to the use of banded-variable phase in an MNA-based optoelectronic simulation framework. A methodology is presented to address issues arising from the use of such a banded-variable. The presented method proved to be robust and examples demonstrating the successful simulation of optoelectronic circuits using the suggested methodology are presented.
