MMI

class picazzo3.filters.mmi.cell.MMI

Rectangular multimode interferometer, generated from a waveguide template

Parameters:

output_trace_templates: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>

List of the output trace templates.

input_trace_templates: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>

List of the input trace templates.

mmi_trace_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate

Trace template used for the MMI section

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:

mmi_trace: PCell, locked

Trace of the MMI section

n_outputs: int and number > 0, locked

Number of output channels.

n_inputs: int and number > 0, locked

Number of input channels.

Views

class Layout

Layoutview of the MMI. It is built from the MMI waveguide over a certain length and ports at the input_y_positions and output_y_positions.

Parameters:

length: float and number > 0

Length of the MMI

output_y_positions: list<Real, number>

Positions in the y direction at the output where ports are be added

input_y_positions: list<Real, number>

Positions in the y direction at the input where ports are be added

view_name: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3.

The name of the view
