MMI: Device Simulation for Layout Optimization

In this tutorial, you will learn how to design, simulate and optimize a passive component. A 1x2 multi-mode interferometer (MMI) is used as an example. The tutorial consists of three steps:

1. Writing the PCell, starting from the layout of the MMI.

2. A circuit model is added to the MMI PCell.

3. The MMI is simulated and optimized using CAMFR, the built-in 2D EME propagation simulation tool in Luceda IPKISS.

• 2. PCell: Layout
• 3. PCell: Circuit Model
• 4. MMI simulation and optimization
