Logical Blocks

Coupler1x2

class picazzo3.logical.coupler.cell.Coupler1x2

A logical 1x2 reciprocal waveguide coupler.

Transmissions and reflections and backcoupling can be set using the properties to arbitrary values without any enforcement of passivity.

Properties dealing with transmission: straight_coupling1, straight_coupling2 Properties dealing with reflection: reflection_in1, reflection_out1, reflection_out2 Properties dealing with back coupling: back_coupling

The default behaviour of the coupler model assumes symmetry that allows the permutations (out_1 with out_2) in the first place. If your component uses this symmetry, properties only have to be specified for in and out_1, the ones relating to out_2 will be assuming this symmetry.

In the second place the coupler model assumes symmetry that allows the permutation of output ports with input ports.

Transition from/to wire (deep etched) to/from rib (shallow etched) waveguides.

You can provide either a wire for the start, and rib for the end, or vica versa. The wire_only_length is the part of the transition in which the rib part is gradually built up. After this length, we abruptly change to the rib waveguide. If the rib part is sufficiently wide in the first part, there should be no reflections at the interface.

PlaceAndConnect

class picazzo3.routing.place_route.cell.PlaceAndConnect

Parametric Cell for manual placement and Logical connection of components.

The user supplies a dictionary of the instances of child cells that need to be placed through the property child_cells. This dictionary maps the instance names to the PCell objects. The same PCell object can be used for multiple instances.

child_cells={ "ring1"  : my_ring1,
              "ring2"  : my_ring2,
              "spl"    : my_splitter,
              "com"    : my_splitter # the same cell is used both for splitting and combining
              }

The connectivity between the instances of the child cells is set by a list of tuples containing pairs of instance terms/port names. This list links is of the form instname:portname

links=[ ("spl:arm1",   "arm1:in1"),
        ("arm1:out1", "com:arm1"),
        ("spl:arm2",   "arm2:in1"),
        ("arm2:out1", "com:arm2")
        ]

All the unused terms of the instances are connected to outside terms. You can override the default external term names using the external_port_names property. There you can specify the individual names of the external terms. If no name is specified, the default pattern of ‘instname_termname’ will be used.

external_port_names={ "spl:in1"  : "input",
                      "com:out1" : "output"
                      }

The PCell will place the waveguides and connect them logically in the netlist, but it is up to the user to verify whether the physical location of the connected ports matches.

In the layout, the placement is specified manually using the child_transformations property, which defines a transformation for each instance. If no transformation is supplied for an instance, no transformation will be applied. It is also possible to supply a coordinate (Coord2) or tuple, which will be interpreted as a position for placement.

child_transformations={"arm1": (50, -50),
                       "arm2": (50,50),
                       "com": i3.HMirror(0.0)+i3.Translation((100,0))}

Child cells that are logically connected but where the ports are not physically connected (e.g. by wrong placement), will be connected with visual flylines.

You can subclass this PCell in order to implement your own additional functionality, or define subcircuits that define their own child cells and child transformations. Warning: do not refer to self.child_cells from within an overridden _default_child_transformations - rather refer to the child cell directly (like self.my_child_cell).

IoFibcoup

IoFibcoupGeneric

class picazzo3.container.iofibcoup.IoFibcoupGeneric

generic adapter for grating fiber couplers.

The component East and West ports are treated separately, and routed towards the East and West, respectively. For this routing, they go through several steps.

Here, we discuss the use for the East ports, but a similar set of parameters is available for the West ports. A lot of the properties are “plural”. This means that they can accept a list of parameters (e.g. east_trace_templates). This allows you to specify the template (or other parameter) for each individual port. The lists do not need to have the exact same length as the number of ports. If the number of elements is different from the number of ports in your component, the IoFibcoupGeneric will just cycle through the list. That way, if all the ports use the same value, you only need to supply a list of one element.

1. First of all, the ports of the component are transitioned to a common trace template east_trace_templates. By default, it uses the standard waveguide definition defined in TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT. However, if an element of the list is None , it will use the trace template of the actual port. The same holds for east_transition_lengths. This can be manually specified by the user, but if a value in the list is set to None, the default length of that transition will be used.

2. Then, the ports are fanned out to the fixed y_spacing of the fiber couplers. The length of that Fanout can be specified through east_fanout_length. Bend radius and rounding algorithm is shared between all ports in the parameter bend_radius and rounding_algorithm. If west_bundle_traces is True, the cover layers will be drawn over the Fanout. This can help reduce DRC errors.

3. Then, the waveguides are transitioned to another waveguide template, specified in east_connect_trace_templates. By default, this is the same template as east_trace_templates, but it is possible to override it to use a lower loss multi-mode waveguide. The connection for which this waveguide is used is a simple straight connection, but depending on the chip layout it can have a long length. The transition lengths can be manually specified using the east_connect_transition_lengths.

4. At the output, the waveguides are transitioned to the waveguide template of the individual input and output fiber couplers. The transition lengths from the connection waveguide to the grating coupler can be specified using east_fiber_coupler_transition_lengths.

5. Finally, the circuit is terminated with the individual fiber couplers, specified in east_fiber_couplers

The same procedure and parameters are used for the west ports

Parameters

The trace templates that will be used for the Fanout of the East ports. and the traces of the Fanout. If an entry of the list is ‘None’, the trace template of the individual port will be used. Defaults to [TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT]. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of East port. If the component has fewer East ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more East ports, the list is just recycled. Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

Defaults to [TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT]. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of West port. If the component has fewer West ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more West ports, the list is just recycled.

If the component has fewer East ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more East ports, the list is just recycled. Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

east_fiber_coupler_port_labels: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>

Port labels of the East fiber couplers connected to the ports of the contents. For fiber couplers with more than one port, the port labels should be concatenated with a ‘,’.

IoFibcoupEastWest

class picazzo3.container.iofibcoup.IoFibcoupEastWest

Adapter for grating fiber couplers East and West.

The component East and West ports are treated separately, and routed towards the East and West, respectively. For this routing, they go through several steps. The settings for the East and West grating couplers can be tuned.

Here, we discuss the use for the East ports, but a similar set of parameters is available for the West ports.

1. First of all, the ports of the component are transitioned to a common trace template east_trace_template. By default, it uses the standard waveguide definition defined in TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT. However, if set to None , the trace will use the trace template of the actual port. The same holds for east_transition_length. This can be manually specified by the user, but if a value in the list is set to None, the default length of that type of transition will be used.

2. Then, the ports are fanned out to the fixed y_spacing of the fiber couplers. The length of that Fanout can be specified through east_fanout_length. Similarly, bend radius and rounding algorithm can be set through the parameter bend_radius and rounding_algorithm. If west_bundle_traces is True, the cover layers will be drawn over the Fanout. This can help reduce DRC errors.

3. Then, the waveguides are transitioned to another waveguide template, specified in east_connect_trace_template. By default, this is the same template as east_trace_template, but it is possible to override it to use a lower loss multi-mode waveguide. The connection for which this waveguide is used is a simple straight connection, but depending on the chip layout it can have a long length. The transition length can be manually specified using the east_connect_transition_length.

4. At the output, the waveguides are transitioned to the waveguide template of the individual input and output fiber couplers. The transition length from the connection waveguide to the grating coupler can be specified using east_fiber_coupler_transition_length.

5. Finally, the circuit is terminated with fiber couplers, using the PCell specified in east_fiber_coupler

IoFibcoup

class picazzo3.container.iofibcoup.IoFibcoup

Adapter for grating fiber couplers.

The component East and West ports are routed towards the East and West, respectively. For this routing, they go through several steps.

1. First of all, the ports of the component are transitioned to a common trace template trace_template. By default, it uses the standard waveguide definition defined in TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT. However, if set to None , the trace will use the trace template of the actual port. The same holds for transition_length. This can be manually specified by the user, but if a value in the list is set to None, the default length of that type of transition will be used.

2. Then, the ports are fanned out to the fixed y_spacing of the fiber couplers. The length of that Fanout can be specified through fanout_length. Similarly, bend radius and rounding algorithm can be set through the parameter bend_radius and rounding_algorithm. If bundle_traces is True, the cover layers will be drawn over the Fanout. This can help reduce DRC errors.

3. Then, the waveguides are transitioned to another waveguide template, specified in east_connect_trace_template. By default, this is the same template as trace_template, but it is possible to override it to use a lower loss multi-mode waveguide. The connection for which this waveguide is used is a simple straight connection, but depending on the chip layout it can have a long length. The transition length can be manually specified using the connect_transition_length.

4. At the output, the waveguides are transitioned to the waveguide template of the individual input and output fiber couplers. The transition length from the connection waveguide to the grating coupler can be specified using fiber_coupler_transition_length.

5. Finally, the circuit is terminated with fiber couplers, using the PCell specified in fiber_coupler

Parameters

trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

The trace template that will be used for the Fanout of the East and West ports. If ‘None’, the trace template of the individual port will be used. Defaults to TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT.

fiber_coupler_external_port_name_map: str

Dicts to map the names of the fiber coupler ports that will be exposed as external ports. The dict is of the form {‘port_name_on_termination’: ‘unique_external_port_name’, …}. the ‘unique_external_port_name’ string can contain the identifier {port}, which will be replaced by the corresponding port name on the component. For example, the default is {‘vertical_in’ : ‘{port}’}, which will map the port ‘vertical_in’ of the fiber coupler to the name of port on the component.

connect_trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

The trace template that will be used for connecting the Fanout of the East and West ports. to the Grating couplers. If ‘None’, the trace template of the individual port will be used. Defaults to the same as trace_template.

fiber_coupler: PCell

Fiber coupler to be attached to the East and West ports. Defaults to TECH.IO.FIBCOUP.DEFAULT.PCELLS.DEFAULT_GRATING

east_fiber_coupler_port_labels: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>

Port labels of the East fiber couplers connected to the ports of the contents. For fiber couplers with more than one port, the port labels should be concatenated with a ‘,’. For example, when using 2D grating couplers, the ports could be [‘in1,in2’, ‘in’]. This will use ports ‘in1’ and ‘in2’ of the first grating coupler, and ‘in’ of the second.By default, all the West ports of all the fiber couplers are used. If an entry in the list is ‘None’, also the west ports of that fiber coupler are used. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of East port. If the component has fewer East ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more East ports, the list is just recycled. Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

west_fiber_coupler_port_labels: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>

Port labels of the West fiber couplers connected to the ports of the contents. For fiber couplers with more than one port, the port labels should be concatenated with a ‘,’. For example, when using 2D grating couplers, the ports could be [‘in1,in2’, ‘in’]. This will use ports ‘in1’ and ‘in2’ of the first grating coupler, and ‘in’ of the second.By default, all the East ports of the fiber coupler are used. If an entry in the list is ‘None’, also the East ports of that fiber coupler are used. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of West port.

Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

Phase Modulators

PhaseShifterWaveguideTemplate

class picazzo3.modulators.phase.trace.PhaseShifterWaveguideTemplate

Generic phase shifter waveguide trace template. When extruded into a (straight) waveguide, this template draws the necessary implant, contact and metallization layers on top of the underlying waveguide template. This waveguide template should be specified in the “trace_template” property.

This PCell can be used for several types of phase shifters, for example: * P(I)N junction injection or depletion phase shifters, with P and N implants, contacts and metal on two sides * Thermal phase shifters using a metal heater on top * Thermal phase shifters using an implanted waveguide

At the Layout level, windows can be specified separately for the implants (the silicon level), contacts (pre-metal/contact level) and the metallization (e.g. metal1 level). Just fill or leave open each of the three sets of windows, and use them to implement the desired type of phase shifter.

Subclass this PCell to create specialized phase shifters, and add electrical ports.

Parameters

trace_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate

Refers to the other trace template from which information is taken to build this trace template.

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters

PhaseModulator

class picazzo3.modulators.phase.cell.PhaseModulator

Straight Phase Modulator PCell. Takes a trace template for the modulator, generates a phase modulator waveguide and adds transitions. Exposes the optical and electrical ports and terms of the (tapered) phase modulator waveguide.

Make sure to explicitly specify the ports to be tapered (the optical ports) in port_labels. Specify the length of the modulator in the Layout View.

Parameters

contents: PCell

the contents of the container: the child cell

trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

Template for all ports, defaults to TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT.When set to None, the waveguide templates of the ports will be used.

transition_database: AutoTransitionDatabase

AutoTransitionDatabase in which the correct transition between the two trace templates can be looked up.

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

Transitions (of type WaveguideTransitionFromPort) attached the the ports given in port_labels. Should be in the same order as port_labels.

port_labels: ( List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’> ), *None allowed*

Labels of the ports to be processed. Set to None to process all ports.

external_port_names: str

Dictionary for remapping of the port names of the contents to the external ports

modulator_trace_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate and PhaseShifterWaveguideTemplate

trace template to use for the phase modulator waveguide

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters
