DoubleSpiralRounded

class picazzo3.wg.spirals.cell.DoubleSpiralRounded

Rounded double spiral class with both access waveguides on the outside of the spiral. The trace template provided in the property trace_template is used to build a chain of waveguides. All the rounding properties can be set at the layout level.

Parameters:

n_o_loops: int and number > 0

Number of loops in the spiral

trace_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate

Trace template used in the chain.

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:

n_o_traces: int and number > 0, locked

Total number of traces used in the spiral.

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

Views

class Layout

Parameters:

shapes: list

List of shapes used to build the traces

flatten: ( bool, bool_ or int )

If true the instances are flattened

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

spacing between the individual loops.

spiral_center: Coord2

location of the center of the spiral.

stub_direction: List with value restriction, allowed values: [‘H’, ‘V’]

inner_size: Coord2 and number >= 0

Inner size of the the spiral, defaults to 3 * spacing + 2 * bend_radius, in each direction

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

manhattan: ( bool, bool_ or int )

Adds rectangular blocks in the bends to avoid as much as possible non-manhattan angles.

angle_step: float and number > 0

Angle step for rounding.

rounding_algorithm:

Rounding algorithm used to generate the bends. Can be circular, spline, ….

bend_radius: float and number > 0

Bend radius for the auto-generated bends.

Other Parameters:

auto_transform: locked
