WaveguideSideBlockGratingPeriod

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

Period for a waveguide with blocks on the side. The base definition is taken from the wg_template which is used for the ports.

Parameters:

wg_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate

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

name:

The unique name of the pcell

Views

Layout

Parameters:

block_height: float and number > 0

The height of the side block, perpendicular to the waveguide direction. By default, it extends up to the edge of the cladding.

block_layer: __Layer__

Layer on which the blocks should be drawn. By default, the core layer of the waveguide is used.

block_offset: float and Real, number and number >= 0

The offset from the waveguide center line to the block’s edge closest to the waveguide core. By default, the core width is used.

block_width: float and number > 0

The width of the block along the waveguide direction. If ‘relative_block_width’ is True (default), this is expressed as a fraction of the period length (fill factor).

relative_block_width: ( bool, bool_, bool or int )

If True, the block width is expressed as a fraction of the length.

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

The name of the view

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

Length of the grating period.
