DodecPhCLayout¶

class picazzo3.phc.generic.cell.DodecPhCLayout(*args, **kwargs)¶

Generic Layouting Cell for photonic crystals with 12-sided holes on a Triangular lattice. The Layout of the cell is made up of a map, which is a multiline string representing the unit cells on a regular triangular lattice. The letters in the ‘map’ correspond to the diameters of the holes in the dictionary ‘hole_sizes’. The pitches can be defined as cartesian pitches using the property ‘pitches’, or using the property ‘lattice_pitches’ which specifies the lattice vector along the horizontal and the oblique axis, or using the property ‘pitch’, which just sets a uniform pitch along all lattice vectors.

Parameters

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters: The unique name of the pcell
