# W1WaveguideWithInlineCavity¶

class picazzo3.phc.w1.cell.W1WaveguideWithInlineCavity(*args, **kwargs)

A Uniform Photonic Crystal W1 waveguide with an inline cavity, consisting of 12-sided holes. You can specify the diameter of the lattice and the diameter of the defect holes in the core of the waveguide. The property ‘cavity_hole_diameters’ specifies the holes of the cavity from east to west.

It is also possible to override the parameters of DodecPhCLayout, which allows you to customize the PCell in more detail.

Parameters: cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional name: optional The unique name of the pcell

Parameters: cavity_hole_diameters: list= 0>, optional list of hole diameters in the cavity, including mirrors lattice_pitches: Coord2, optional Lattice constants along the horizontal and the oblique direction. Choose identical values for a regular grid. If ‘pitches’ is manually set, this property will be ignored. If this property is set, the property ‘pitch’ will be ignored. purpose: PatternPurpose, optional Purpose of the layer on which the holes should be drawn. view_name: str, optional The name of the view defect_diameter: float and Real, number and number >= 0, optional Diameter of the defect holes. If zero, no holes are drawn. diameter: float and number > 0, optional diameter of the photonic crystal lattice holes n_o_cladding_layers: int and number > 0, optional Number of cladding layers north and south. n_o_periods: int and number > 0, optional Number of lattice periods in the propagation direction. cells: optional dictionary of Unit Cells for a Photonic Crystal. The value should be of the form {‘x’: cell1, ‘y’: cell2}. The keys of the dictionary should be characters and each character can be used to identify the unit cell in the map. The default value of this property is automatically calculated from the dictiornary ‘hole_sizes’. Only assign to this property if you want to override this value. If you do this, the property ‘hole_sizes’ will be ignored. hole_sizes: dict, optional dictionary of the hole sizes of the Photonic Crystal. The value should be of the form {‘x’: 0.25, ‘y’: 0.26}. The keys of the dictionary should be characters and each character can be used to identify the unit cell in the map. If the property ‘cells’ is set manually, hole_sizes’ will be ignored. process_wg: ProcessLayer, optional Process of the layer on which the holes should be drawn. pitch: float and Real, number and number >= 0, optional Lattice constant for a uniform triangular lattice. This property will be ignored if ‘lattice_pitches’ or ‘pitches’ are set manually pitches: optional Cartesian (X, Y) pitches of the lattice. If this is specified, the properties ‘lattice_pitches’ and ‘pitch’ will be ignored map: str, optional Map of the photonic crystal. This property accepts a multi-line string. Every character in the string represents a unit cell of the photonic crystal, which can be found in the property cells ports_coordinates: optional list of tuple with (coordinate (in pitches), angle, waveguide_template, [name]) process_hfw: ProcessLayer, optional process for underetching purpose_hfw: PatternPurpose, optional drawing purpose for underetching zero_line_y: float, optional line in the map which corresponds to the coordinate y=0. This can be a fractional number, and the unit is relative to pitches.y . grids_per_unit: locked Number of grid cells per design unit units_per_grid: locked Ratio of grid cell and design unit grid: float and number > 0, locked design grid. Extracted by default from TECH.METRICS.GRID unit: float and number > 0, locked design unit. Extracted by default from TECH.METRICS.UNIT
