WaveguideGrooveGratingPeriod

class picazzo3.wg.grating.cell.WaveguideGrooveGratingPeriod

Period for a waveguide with grooves etched in the core.

Parameters:

wg_template: PCell and _WaveguideTemplate

Waveguide template of start and end of the period (and ports)

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

The unique name of the pcell

Views

class Layout

Parameters:

groove_purpose: PatternPurpose

Purpose on which the groove is drawn.

groove_process: ProcessLayer

Process on which the groove is drawn.

relative_groove_width: ( bool, bool_ or int )

If True, the groove width is expressed as a fraction of the length.

groove_length: float and number > 0

The length of the groove, perpendicular to the waveguide direction. By default, it extends halfway the cladding.

groove_width: float and number > 0

The width of the block along the waveguide direction. If ‘relative_groove_width’ is True (default), this is expressed as a fraction of the period length (fill factor).

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

Length of the grating period.

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
