WaveguideSectionsGratingPeriod

class picazzo3.wg.grating.cell.WaveguideSectionsGratingPeriod(*args, **kwargs)

waveguide grating period consisting of concatenated waveguide sections. At the logical level, the waveguides are connected using WaveguideReflectors, which result in a model based on simple Fresnel reflection.

Parameters:

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

List of waveguide templates that make up a grating period

wg_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate, optional

Waveguide template of start and end of the period (and ports)

cell_instances: _PCellInstanceDict, optional

name: optional

The unique name of the pcell

Views

Layout

Parameters:

section_lengths: list<number >= 0>, optional

List of lengths for the waveguide templates

view_name: str, optional

The name of the view

length: float and Real, number and number >= 0, optional

Length of the grating period.

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
