IoFibcoup

class picazzo3.container.iofibcoup.IoFibcoup

Adapter for grating fiber couplers.

The component East and West ports are routed towards the East and West, respectively. For this routing, they go through several steps.

1. First of all, the ports of the component are transitioned to a common trace template trace_template. By default, it uses the standard waveguide definition defined in TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT. However, if set to None , the trace will use the trace template of the actual port. The same holds for transition_length. This can be manually specified by the user, but if a value in the list is set to None, the default length of that type of transition will be used.

2. Then, the ports are fanned out to the fixed y_spacing of the fiber couplers. The length of that Fanout can be specified through fanout_length. Similarly, bend radius and rounding algorithm can be set through the parameter bend_radius and rounding_algorithm. If bundle_traces is True, the cover layers will be drawn over the Fanout. This can help reduce DRC errors.

3. Then, the waveguides are transitioned to another waveguide template, specified in east_connect_trace_template. By default, this is the same template as trace_template, but it is possible to override it to use a lower loss multi-mode waveguide. The connection for which this waveguide is used is a simple straight connection, but depending on the chip layout it can have a long length. The transition length can be manually specified using the connect_transition_length.

4. At the output, the waveguides are transitioned to the waveguide template of the individual input and output fiber couplers. The transition length from the connection waveguide to the grating coupler can be specified using fiber_coupler_transition_length.

5. Finally, the circuit is terminated with fiber couplers, using the PCell specified in fiber_coupler

Parameters:

trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

The trace template that will be used for the Fanout of the East and West ports. If ‘None’, the trace template of the individual port will be used. Defaults to TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT.

fiber_coupler_external_port_name_map: str

Dicts to map the names of the fiber coupler ports that will be exposed as external ports. The dict is of the form {‘port_name_on_termination’: ‘unique_external_port_name’, …}. the ‘unique_external_port_name’ string can contain the identifier {port}, which will be replaced by the corresponding port name on the component. For example, the default is {‘vertical_in’ : ‘{port}’}, which will map the port ‘vertical_in’ of the fiber coupler to the name of port on the component.

connect_trace_template: ( PCell and _WaveguideTemplate ), *None allowed*

The trace template that will be used for connecting the Fanout of the East and West ports. to the Grating couplers. If ‘None’, the trace template of the individual port will be used. Defaults to the same as trace_template.

fiber_coupler: PCell

Fiber coupler to be attached to the East and West ports. Defaults to TECH.IO.FIBCOUP.DEFAULT.PCELLS.DEFAULT_GRATING

west_fiber_coupler_port_labels: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>

Port labels of the West fiber couplers connected to the ports of the contents. For fiber couplers with more than one port, the port labels should be concatenated with a ‘,’. For example, when using 2D grating couplers, the ports could be [‘in1,in2’, ‘in’]. This will use ports ‘in1’ and ‘in2’ of the first grating coupler, and ‘in’ of the second.By default, all the East ports of the fiber coupler are used. If an entry in the list is ‘None’, also the East ports of that fiber coupler are used. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of West port. If the component has fewer West ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more West ports, the list is just recycled. Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

east_fiber_coupler_port_labels: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’>

Port labels of the East fiber couplers connected to the ports of the contents. For fiber couplers with more than one port, the port labels should be concatenated with a ‘,’. For example, when using 2D grating couplers, the ports could be [‘in1,in2’, ‘in’]. This will use ports ‘in1’ and ‘in2’ of the first grating coupler, and ‘in’ of the second.By default, all the West ports of all the fiber couplers are used. If an entry in the list is ‘None’, also the west ports of that fiber coupler are used. The number of entries in the list should not be identical to the number of East port. If the component has fewer East ports, only the first entries in the list will be used. If the component has more East ports, the list is just recycled. Therefore, it is allowed to use a list of just one element for multiple ports.

west_port_labels: ( List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’> ), *None allowed*

Labels of the ports to directed to the West. Set to None to process all West ports.

east_port_labels: ( List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘str’> ), *None allowed*

Labels of the ports to directed to the East. Set to None to process all East ports.

external_port_names: str

the contents of the container: the child cell

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