WgParabolicCrossing

class picazzo3.wg.crossing.cell.WgParabolicCrossing(*args, **kwargs)

Highly efficient crossing for high-contrast silicon photonics. The crossing consists of double-etched parabolic transitions at right angles, collimating the optical field over a short distance to a parallel beam at the center of the crossing. This allows for a minimum of crosstalk. The details of this crossing are described in detail in [W. Bogaerts et al., Optics Letters, 32(19), p.2801-2803 (2007)]
