Simulating an aperture with CAMFR

This simple example illustrates the integration of SlabSim in IPKISS. It requires the IPKISS AWG Designer module. We make a simple aperture and run a CAMFR simulation on it.

Note: do not use this aperture in a real design, this is only for illustration purposes and not designed optimally.

Getting started

We start by importing the technology with other required modules:

from si_fab import all as pdk
import numpy
import pylab as plt

From IPKISS’ AWG Designer and si_fab_awg, we import the following:

from awg_designer.all import SimpleSlabMode
from si_fab_awg.all import SiRibAperture, SiSlabTemplate

The Environment object is needed to specify the wavelength of interest.

from pysics.basics.environment import Environment

Template for the free propagation region. This defines the layers, slab modes, etc.

slab_t = SiSlabTemplate()
slab_t.Layout()
slab_t.SlabModes(modes=[SimpleSlabMode(name="TE0", n_eff=2.8, n_g=3.2, polarization="TE")])

<SiSlabTemplate.SlabModes view 'TEMPLATE_1:slabmodes'>

Specify the wavelength of interest

environment = Environment(wavelength=1.55)

The aperture

Make an aperture consisting of a transition between two trace templates. Trace template at the aperture

ap_wg_t = pdk.SiRibWaveguideTemplate()
ap_wg_t.Layout(core_width=2.0)

<SiRibWaveguideTemplate.Layout view 'SI_FAB_RIB_WGTEMPLATE_1:layout'>

Trace template at the waveguide port

wg_t = pdk.SiWireWaveguideTemplate()
wg_t.Layout(core_width=0.4)

<SiWireWaveguideTemplate.Layout view 'SI_FAB_WIRE_WGTEMPLATE_6:layout'>

The aperture

ap = SiRibAperture(
    slab_template=slab_t,
    aperture_trace_template=ap_wg_t,
    trace_template=wg_t,
    taper_length=30,
)
ap_lo = ap.Layout()  # the length is calculated by default
ap_lo.visualize()
ap_lo.visualize_2d()

Get the field profile at the aperture

This will execute a CAMFR simulation. By putting verbose=True, the simulation prints the wavelength and effective indices used for the simulation.

f = ap_sm.get_fields(environment=environment, verbose=True)
f.visualize()
