Waveguide input / output device benchmark problems

[ianwilliamson]

We can contribute the design patterns and code for the waveguide input-output devices shown in our Inverse design of photonic devices with strict foundry fabrication constraints paper. These results use the Ceviche simulator, but rely on additional modules that we developed to set up the device geometries and calculate scattering parameters. We can open source these modules separately from this repository, but introduce a script here for users to run them with selected designs.

TODO

• Open source the code that sets up the device geometries, runs the simulations, and calculates the scattering parameters
• Contribute design patterns from the paper to this testbed repository

Broadband waveguide bend

Mode converter

Beam splitter

Wavelength division multiplexer

Let's start with just the mode converter?

Sure. In this repo we can add an "end point" for whichever component(s) we want.

@ianwilliamson if you can share the code of your paper or at least some part to implement the graph of your paper / geometries, that would be awesome !! 🥳

[lucasgrjn]

Thanks for the sharing @ianwilliamson !

@Dj1312 We have released the code for setting up the Ceviche FDFD simulations and calculating scattering parameters to the ceviche-challenges repo. The plan is for the some of the design patterns from the paper to be added to this test bed repo.

Yes ! I just found out, that is why my last message was a thanks.
