straight

photonforge.parametric.straight(*, port_spec=None, length=None, bulge_width=None, bulge_taper_length=None, bulge_margin=None, active_model=None, technology=None, name=None, tidy3d_model_kwargs=None, waveguide_model_kwargs=None)

Straight waveguide section.

Parameters:

  • port_spec (str | PortSpec) – Port specification describing waveguide cross-section.

  • length (float) – Section length.

  • bulge_width (float) – Width added to the waveguide cross-section in the central region when length if enough to fit in 2 tapering sections plus margins.

  • bulge_taper_length (float) – Length of each tapering region for bulging the central region of the waveguide.

  • bulge_margin (float) – Length of the waveguide that must be kept without bulging at both ends.

  • active_model (Literal['Tidy3D', 'Waveguide']) – Name of the model to be used by default; must be either "Tidy3D" or "Waveguide" (default).

  • technology (Technology) – Component technology. If None, the default technology is used.

  • name (str) – Component name.

  • tidy3d_model_kwargs (dict[str, Any]) – Dictionary of keyword arguments passed to the component’s photonforge.Tidy3DModel.

  • waveguide_model_kwargs (dict[str, Any]) – Dictionary of keyword arguments passed to the component’s photonforge.WaveguideModel.

Returns:

Component with the straight section, ports and model.

Return type:
