photonic_model |
string |
The name of the photonic model used for this template. Please visit here for a list of all available photonic models. |
mode_data |
cell |
M x 1 cell array where M is the number of modes. Each element of the cell is a struct with the fields:
Notes:
|
wavelength |
number |
Center wavelength (m) of the band for which the waveguide properties are evaluated. Example: 1550e-9 for C-band (1530-1565nm) |
temperature |
number |
Temperature (K) for which waveguide properties are evaluated. |
neff |
matrix |
M x 1 matrix where M is the number of modes, with the effective index for the temperature, wavelength and modes specified. Note: For more information on mode properties, see Mode Properties in photonic model page. |
ng |
matrix |
M x 1 matrix where M is the number of modes, with the group index for the temperature, wavelength and modes specified. Note: For more information on mode properties, see Mode Properties in photonic model page. |
D |
matrix |
M x 1 matrix where M is the number of modes, with the dispersion(s/m/m) for the temperature, wavelength and modes specified. Note: For more information on mode properties, see Mode Properties in photonic model page. |
loss |
matrix |
M x 1 matrix where M is the number of modes, with the loss (dB/m) for the temperature, wavelength and modes specified. Note: This must be a positive number. |
dneff_dT (only for linear temperature dependence) |
matrix |
M x 1 matrix where M is the number of modes, with the effective index temperature sensitivity (1/K) for the wavelength and modes specified above. Notes:
|
delta_neff_vs_T (only for non-linear temperature dependence) |
matrix |
P x (M+1) matrix where M is the number of modes and P is the number of temperature points, with the effective index temperature sensitivity (1/K) as a function of temperature (K) for each mode. The columns contain:
Note: If the data for non-linear temperature dependence is provided, a nonlinear model will be prioritized over a linear one. This will override dneff_dT if provided. |
wg_length |
number |
Waveguide length (m). Note: This value is not required if wg_length is defined as a parameter for the element. |
number_of_taps_estimation |
string |
A string containing the method of choosing the number of taps for the FIR filter of the element. Valid entries are:
