WaveguideNonUniformGrating

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

Waveguide with inline, non-uniform grating. The grating periods are described as individual cells, and they are concatenated into a grating.

Parameters:

period_cells: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’> and List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘picazzo3.wg.grating.cell._WaveguideGratingPeriod’>, optional

cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional

name: optional

The unique name of the pcell

Views

Layout

Parameters:

view_name: str, optional

The name of the view

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
