RectangularAWG¶
- class awg_designer.all.RectangularAWG(*args, **kwargs)¶
Rectangular AWG component. Consists of two star couplers and a waveguide bundle (the latter is automatically calculated).
To build an AWG, you need the following subcells:
SlabTemplate
: to define the slab of the star couplersSingleAperture
: an apertureMultiAperture
: an array of apertures used in the star couplersStarCoupler
: combines the MultiAperture with the free propagation region
A full build algorithm is provided as example in
awg_designer.sample_designs.awg.demux1xM.build_awg_1xM()
.- Parameters
- star_coupler_in: PCell and _Coupler, required
Input star coupler
- star_coupler_out: PCell and _Coupler, required
Output star coupler
- trace_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate
- star_coupler_in_arm_ports: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>
list (in the right order) of the input star coupler port names that are connected to the array
- star_coupler_in_ports: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>
list (in the right order) of the input star coupler port names that are mapped onto ‘in’ ports
- star_coupler_out_arm_ports: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>
list (in the right order) of the output star coupler port names that are connected to the array
- star_coupler_out_ports: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>
list (in the right order) of the output star coupler port names that are mapped onto ‘out’ ports
- child_cells:
dict to create the instances of the child cells. Format is {‘inst_name1’: PCell}
- links: list and List with type restriction, allowed types: [<class ‘collections.abc.Sequence’>]
list of tuples connecting the instances. Format is [(‘inst1:term1’,’inst2:term2’), …]
- external_port_names: str
Map of the free instance terms/ports to the names of external terms/ports.Format is a dict {‘inst:term’ : ‘new_term_name’}.If a term/port is not listed, the format instname_portname will be used
- name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters
The unique name of the pcell
- Other Parameters
- waveguide_bundle: PCell and WaveguideBundle, TemplatedWaveguideBundle, locked
array of waveguides
