Semiconductor photonics causal-chain replay
Photonics causal-chain replay
A browser replay connecting photon energy, bounded LED/laser logic, ideal detector responsivity, an all-pass ring, and MZI phase transfer while exposing every missing material, solver, coupling, and measurement layer.
EXPLORE
Start with the observable.
Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.
- Choose a spectral window, assumed external quantum efficiency, emitter evidence state, ring coupling state, and assumed delta-n.
- Trace photon energy and an ideal one-electron responsivity relation before reading the device-specific boundaries.
- In the 1310 nm and 1550 nm teaching windows, inspect how assumed coupling moves an all-pass-ring spectrum and how assumed delta-n moves MZI phase and normalized output.
- Use the evidence gate to identify the missing material, gain, absorption, dispersion, mode-convergence, calibration, and measurement layers.

RUN CARD
Conditions before conclusions.
The browser filters a saved CSV. It does not run Meep, FDTD, a mode solver, TCAD, SPICE, a laser gain model, a solar detailed-balance model, a carrier model, an optimizer, or a calibrated optical analysis.
Primary knobs
- spectral context
- assumed external QE
- emitter evidence state

How the number was made.
Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.
Generate a deterministic 4 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 21 sweep over spectral context, assumed external QE, emitter evidence state, ring coupling state, assumed delta-n, and wavelength offset.
Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.
Use NIST exact SI constants for photon energy and ideal one-electron responsivity, then label all device-like values as original assumed teaching inputs.
Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.
Evaluate scalar all-pass-ring and quadrature-biased MZI equations only in the declared 1310 nm and 1550 nm teaching windows.
Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.
Keep laser gain, semiconductor absorption, solar detailed balance, carrier-induced delta-n, material dispersion, mode convergence, and calibrated optical measurement as explicit replacement-evidence gates.
Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.
LIMITS
What this page does not claim.
The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.
The replay contains 4,536 original deterministic rows and zero measured device rows, zero external device-performance values, and zero calibrated material models.
Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.
No laser threshold current, LED efficiency claim, detector material performance, solar-cell efficiency, ring Q, insertion loss, modulator Vpi, bandwidth, energy-per-bit, foundry process, product ranking, or fabrication recipe is predicted.
Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.
No Meep, FDTD, mode solver, TCAD, SPICE, optimizer, upload parser, or live server solver runs in the browser.
Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.
A real study needs rights-cleared dispersion and absorption data, geometry, polarization, boundaries, convergence, coupling calibration, electro-optic or carrier model, optical measurement, uncertainty, and owner review.
Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.
