The optical performance analysis uses comprehensive models for accurate characterization:
The insertion loss is calculated as:
$$IL = 10\log_{10}\left(\frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}\right) = \alpha L + L_{coupling} + L_{bend}$$
Where α is the propagation loss, L is the device length, and Lcoupling and Lbend are coupling and bend losses.
The extinction ratio is given by:
$$ER = 10\log_{10}\left(\frac{P_{max}}{P_{min}}\right) = 10\log_{10}\left(\frac{1 + \cos(\pi V/V_\pi)}{1 - \cos(\pi V/V_\pi)}\right)$$
Where V is the applied voltage and Vπ is the half-wave voltage.
The responsivity is calculated as:
$$R = \frac{\eta q \lambda}{hc} = \frac{\eta \lambda}{1.24}$$
Where η is the quantum efficiency, q is the electron charge, λ is the wavelength, h is Planck's constant, and c is the speed of light.
