si_fab.all.SiDirectionalCouplerU

class si_fab.all.SiDirectionalCouplerU

Silicon wire directional coupler with a U-shape, where all the properties aside from the length (straight_length) are optimized and locked. Circuit simulation data is available for any length and for wavelengths between 1.5 um and 1.6 um.

Parameters:
straight_length: float and Real, number and number >= 0

Length of the straight 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:
data_tag: locked
adiabatic_angle: locked
bend_height: locked
bend_length: locked
spacing: locked
routing_method: locked
trace_template: locked
