MultiAperture

class awg_designer.all.MultiAperture

An aperture consisting of multiple single apertures.

For the slab_template, by default the template of the first aperture is taken.

If you want to build your own type of MultiAperture, always inherit from this class.

Parameters:

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

The individual apertures

field_ports:

list of regular ports that have field ports

slab_template: PCell and SlabTemplate

template for free propagation region

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:

external_port_names: locked

child_cells: locked

Views

class Layout

Parameters:

aperture_transformations:

transformations of the individual apertures

fpr_depth: float and number > 0

depth of the virtual free propagation region

front_shape: Shape

Shape of the ‘front’ of the aperture, where the light comes out

netlist_view: NetlistView

Netlist view in the same cell on which this Layout is based. Normally no need to manually override.

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:

child_transformations: locked

slab_layers: locked

list of layers that should be drawn as exclusion zone
