MZI

class picazzo3.filters.mzi.cell.MZI(*args, **kwargs)

Generic MZI, taking a splitter, combiner and two _MziArm objects. You have to specify the transformations yourself.

Parameters:

arm1: PCell and MZIArm

The South arm of the MZI

arm1_port_names: length == 2

port names for the south arm ports connected to splitter and combiner. Default = (‘in’, ‘out’)

arm2: PCell and MZIArm

The North arm of the MZI

arm2_port_names: length == 2

port names for the north arm ports connected to splitter and combiner. Default = (‘in’, ‘out’)

combiner: PCell

The combiner of the MZI

combiner_port_names: length == 2

port names for the combiner ports to the arms. Default = (‘in1’, ‘in2’)

splitter: PCell

The splitter of the MZI

splitter_port_names: length == 2

port names for the splitter ports to the arms. Default = (‘out1’, ‘out2’)

external_port_names:

Map of the free instance terms/ports to the names of external terms/ports.Format is a dict {‘inst:term’ : ‘new_term_name’}.If a term/port is not listed, the format instname_portname will be used

name:

The unique name of the pcell

Other Parameters:  

child_cells: locked

links: locked

Views

Layout

Parameters:

combiner_transformation: GenericNoDistortTransform

splitter_transformation: GenericNoDistortTransform

view_name: str and ( Alphanumeric string or Contains _$ )

The name of the view

flyline_layer: ( __Layer__ ), *None allowed*

layer to draw flylines of physically unconnected links

flyline_width: float and number > 0

line width of the flylines

netlist_view: NetlistView

Netlist view in the same cell on which this Layout is based. Normally no need to manually override.

Other Parameters:  

child_transformations: locked
