Logical Blocks

Coupler1x2

class picazzo3.logical.coupler.cell.Coupler1x2(*args, **kwargs)

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 tranmission: 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.

Parameters:

cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional

name: optional

The unique name of the pcell

n_inputs: int and number > 0, locked

Number of input channels.

n_outputs: int and number > 0, locked

Properties dealing with tranmission: straight_coupling1, straight_coupling2 Properties dealing with reflection: reflection_out1, reflection_in1, reflection_in2 Properties dealing with back coupling: back_coupling

The default behaviour of the coupler model assumes symmetry that allows the permutations (in1 with in2) in the first place. If your component uses this symmetry, properties only have to be specified for in1 and out, the ones relating to in2 will be assuming this symmetry.

When using this class you have to specify centers, ellipse_radii_x, ellipse_radii_y, start_angles, end_angles, line_widths as a list of of numbers. A fiber grating coupler composed of ellispes using those parameters will be constructed on a LinearTransitionSocket.

It is advised (but not strictly required) to place the intended location of the fiber in the origin of your component. To make sure that this the case you can use socket_transformation and grating_transformation to independently transform both the socket and the grating.

FiberCouplerGrating

class picazzo3.fibcoup.base.FiberCouplerGrating(*args, **kwargs)

Base class for fiber couplers which combine a grating on top of a socket.

The socket is the piece of waveguide, taper or slab on which the grating rests. The grating couples light between the plane (the socket) and the out-of-plane direction, to a fiber, lens or free space.

This cell should be used such that the inclination and angle of the port match the direction of peak transmission at the center wavelength specified in the Caphe model, when light is incident from the vertical (through vertical_in) and couples to the out port

             *  "vertical_in"
              *
               *
inclination   / *

RingRectSBendNotchFilter

class picazzo3.filters.ring.cell.RingRectSBendNotchFilter(*args, **kwargs)

Rectangular Ring resonator with one bus waveguide, which is placed on the South side of the ring. The shape of the bus waveguide bends away from the ring, and then again horizontally, with an S-bend.

Transitions

Rib Transitions

WireRibWaveguideTransitionLinear

class picazzo3.traces.rib_wg.WireRibWaveguideTransitionLinear(*args, **kwargs)

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.

Parameters:

end_trace_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate and WireWaveguideTemplate, RibWaveguideTemplate, optional

modified_start_wg_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate, optional

Modified start waveguide template (using the end_trace_template, but with the dimensions of the start_trace_template)

wire_only_wg_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate, optional

cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional

name: optional

The unique name of the pcell

reverse_templates: locked

When True, treat start_trace_template as end_trace_template and vice versa. To use the correct templates, use the _{start/stop}_trace_template properties. This should not be set manually, but calculated by the transition itself.

view_name: str, optional

Input and output angle of the bends of arm 1. Defaults to bend_angle. If set, bend_angle will be ignored.

bend_angles2: tuple2, optional

Input and output angle of the bends of arm 2. Defaults to bend_angle. If set, bend_angle will be ignored.

Shape for the north-west part of the waveguide

wg2b_shape: Shape, optional

Shape for the north-east part of the waveguide

bend_radius: float and number > 0, optional

bend radius for the auto-generated bends
