S bend/straight coupling region.

Args

  • port_spec: Port specification describing waveguide cross-section. A tuple with 2 values can be used, one for each coupler side.
  • coupling_distance: Distance between waveguide centers.
  • s_bend_length: Length of the S bends.
  • s_bend_offset: Offset of the S bends.
  • euler_fraction: Fraction of the bends that is created using an Euler spiral (see Path.arc). If None, defaults to 0.
  • coupling_length: Length of straight coupling region. If None, defaults to 0.
  • technology: Component technology. If None, the default technology is used.
  • name: Component name.
  • model: Model to be used with this component. If None a DirectionalCouplerCircuitModel is used.

Returns

Coupling component.
