MZIWaveguides

class picazzo3.filters.mzi.cell.MZIWaveguides(*args, **kwargs)

A MZI with two simple waveguide arms. The splitter and combiner are safely spaced, but this can be manually optimized. The difference in length between the delay lines can be set in the layout.

Parameters

auto_transition: ( bool, bool_, bool or int )

if True, splitter and combiner are transitioned to the correct waveguide template

trace_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate

arm1_port_names: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3. and length == 2

port names for the south arm ports connected to splitter and combiner. Default = (‘in’, ‘out’)

arm2_port_names: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3. and length == 2

port names for the north arm ports connected to splitter and combiner. Default = (‘in’, ‘out’)

combiner: PCell

The combiner of the MZI

combiner_port_names: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3. and length == 2

port names for the combiner ports to the arms. Default = (‘in1’, ‘in2’)

splitter: PCell

The splitter of the MZI

splitter_port_names: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3. and length == 2

port names for the splitter ports to the arms. Default = (‘out1’, ‘out2’)

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
