SiEPIC: Mach-Zehnder interferometer with Y-branches

Note

This tutorial requires the Luceda PDK for SiEPIC, which is downloaded together with the Luceda Academy samples.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement a Mach-Zehnder interferometer using Y-branches. To build the circuit, we will use available components from the Luceda PDK for SiEPIC.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to

  • design and simulate a simple circuit using the Luceda PDK for SiEPIC,

  • simulate the Y-branch component,

  • add fiber grating couplers as the input and output devices to the circuit, and

  • simulate the final circuit.
