Abstract

Designing a photonics switching system is provided. A photonic switch diode is designed to attain each performance metric in a plurality of performance metrics associated with a photonic switching system based on a weighted value corresponding to each of the plurality of performance metrics. A switch driver circuit is selected from a plurality of switch driver circuits for the photonic switching system. It is determined whether each performance metric associated with the photonic switching system meets or exceeds a threshold value corresponding to each of the plurality of performance metrics based on the designed photonic switch diode and the selected switch driver circuit. In response to determining that each performance metric associated with the photonic switching system meets or exceeds the threshold value corresponding to each of the performance metrics, the photonic switching system is designed using the designed photonic switch diode and the selected switch driver circuit.
