ModifiedWaveguideGratingPeriod

class picazzo3.wg.grating.cell.ModifiedWaveguideGratingPeriod(*args, **kwargs)

Period for a waveguide with modified parameters. The base definition is taken from the wg_template which is used for the ports. The modify_waveguide_parameters property then creates the blocks with modified widths, by adapting the properties of the individual waveguide template.

Parameters:

modified_waveguide_parameters: optional

Dict of the parameters of the waveguide template that should be modified for the different sections of the Grating Period.

n_o_sections: int and number > 0, optional

Number of sections in the grating period

wg_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate, optional

Waveguide template of start and end of the period (and ports)

cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional

name: optional

The unique name of the pcell

wg_templates: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>, locked

Views

Layout

Parameters:

view_name: str, optional

The name of the view

section_lengths: list<number >= 0>, optional

List of lengths for the waveguide templates

length: float and Real, number and number >= 0, optional

Length of the grating period.

grids_per_unit: locked

Number of grid cells per design unit

units_per_grid: locked

Ratio of grid cell and design unit

grid: float and number > 0, locked

design grid. Extracted by default from TECH.METRICS.GRID

unit: float and number > 0, locked

design unit. Extracted by default from TECH.METRICS.UNIT

Examples

""" In this example we build a grating from a modified slot waveguide.
Starting from the basic slot waveguide template, we define grating period sections
with different slot width and core width.
