  Optical interconnects are foreseen as a potential solution to improve the
performance of data transmission in high speed integrated circuits since
electrical interconnects operating at high bit rates have several limitations
which creates a bottleneck at the interconnect level. The objective of the work
is to model and then simulate the MQWM based optical interconnect transmitter.
The power output of the simulated modulator is then optimized with respect to
various parameters namely contrast ratio, insertion loss and bias current. The
methodology presented here is suitable for investigation of both analog and
digital modulation performance but it primarily deals with digital modulation.
We have not included the effect of carrier charge density in multiple quantum
well simulation.
