Functions¶
This page lists the functions that are part of the IPKISS AWG Designer.
Design¶
get_layout_params_1xM_demux_um (aperture_in, …) |
Calculate the layout parameters for building a 1xM AWG (1 input, M outputs), with channels equidistant in wavelength. |
get_layout_params_1xM_demux_ghz (aperture_in, …) |
Calculate the layout parameters for building a 1xM AWG (1 input, M outputs), with channels equidistant in frequency. |
Field profiles¶
gaussian_field (waist, x[, center]) |
Gaussian field profile. |
Layouting¶
delay_length_from_FSR (f_min, f_max, …) |
Get the delay length required to fulfill a specific FSR. |
fanout (ports, angle_out[, target_point, …]) |
Return the routes that fanout all the ports to an arbitrary direction angle_out. |
get_angles_out (delay_length, frequencies, …) |
Get the angles for the output grating, so that the output channels are positioned at the specified frequencies. |
get_apertures_angles_with_dummies (apertures, …) |
Helper function to add dummies to the apertures and angles |
get_FSR (delay_length, n_g_c) |
Get the actual FSR based on a delay_length and the group index at the center wavelength. |
get_R_grating (FSR, channel_spacing, …) |
Calculates the minimal grating radius such that all channels fit in the first order diffraction of the grating. |
get_star_coupler_apertures (apertures_arms, …) |
Get the MultiApertures for your StarCoupler, along with the transformations of the individual apertures. |
get_star_coupler_extended_contour (…[, …]) |
Get a free propagation region contour shape which fits the slab area. |
grating_aperture_angles (radius, pitch, …) |
Calculate the angles for the grating apertures, for a given grating pitch / grating radius. |
mounting_circular (center, radius, angles) |
Generates a list of transformations for star coupler elements on a circular mounting. |
mounting_rowland (pole_position, radius, angles) |
Generates a list of transformations for star coupler elements on a Rowland mounting. |
Analysis (deprecated)¶
These functions are supported for backwards compatibility but are deprecated in favor of the newer spectrum analysis functionality.
get_peaks (*args, **kwargs) |
Get the transmission peaks for certain output channels (output_pms). |
get_insertion_loss (*args, **kwargs) |
Calculate the insertion loss for each output channel |
get_crosstalk (*args, **kwargs) |
Get the crosstalk for each output port. |
get_nearest_neighbor_crosstalk (*args, **kwargs) |
Get the nearest neighbor cross-talk for each output port. |
Utilities¶
frequency_to_wavelength (frequency) |
Converts frequency [GHz] into wavelength [um]. |
wavelength_to_frequency (wavelength) |
Converts wavelength [um] to frequency [GHz]. |
Legacy methods¶
For backward compatibility reasons and to allow users the time to rewrite their code to the new syntax, we kept the original AWG building method to create a rectangular 1xM demux. See also: AWG porting in IPKISS 3.5.
sample_designs.awg.demux1xM.build_awg_1xM (…) |
Build an 1xM rectangular form AWG demux PCell. |
