MMI2x2Tapered

class picazzo3.filters.mmi.cell.MMI2x2Tapered

MMI with one access waveguide and two output waveguides and with tapers that symmetrically distributed. This is usually useful when the MMI is used as a 2x2 splitter or a crossing.

Parameters:

output_trace_template: PCell

Output trace template.

input_trace_template: PCell

Input trace template.

mmi_trace_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate

Trace template used for the MMI section

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

Template for all ports, defaults to TECH.PCELLS.WG.DEFAULT.When set to None, the waveguide templates of the ports will be used.

transition_database: AutoTransitionDatabase

AutoTransitionDatabase in which the correct transition between the two trace templates can be looked up.

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

List of transitions that is used on this MMI. By default Autotracetransition is used on all the transitions

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

Labels of the ports to be processed. Set to None to process all ports.

external_port_names: str

Dictionary for remapping of the port names of the contents to the external ports

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

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

List of the output trace templates.

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

List of the input trace templates.

n_outputs: int and number > 0, locked

Number of output channels.

n_inputs: int and number > 0, locked

Number of input channels.

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

list of templates to apply to all ports

contents: PCell, locked

Contains the base MMI without the tapers

Views

class Layout

Parameters:

trace_spacing: float and Real, number and number >= 0

Offset between the traces at the input and the output

transition_length: ( float and Real, number and number >= 0 ), *None allowed*

Length of the transition. Set to None to take the standard transition length.

zero_length_if_identical: ( bool, bool_ or int )

uses a zero-length transition if the trace templates are identical

flatten_transitions: ( bool, bool_ or int )

if true, flattens the transitions one level

straight_extension: ( Coord2 and number >= 0 ), *None allowed*

Tuple: straight extensions of the transitions. Set to None to take the standard straight extensions

length: float and number > 0

Length of the MMI

contents_transformation: GenericNoDistortTransform

transformation to apply to the contents

flatten_contents: ( bool, bool_ or int )

if True, it will insert the contents as elements in the layout, rather than as an Instance

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

Other Parameters:

output_y_positions: list<Real, number>, locked

Positions in the y direction at the output where access waveguides are be added

input_y_positions: list<Real, number>, locked

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

transition_lengths: locked
