name

Defines the name of the element.

annotate

Defines whether or not to display annotations on the schematic editor.

enabled

Defines whether or not the element is enabled.

type

Defines the element unique type (read only).

description

A brief description of the elements functionality.

prefix

Defines the element name prefix.

model

Defines the element model name.

library

Defines the element location or source in the library (custom or design kit).

local path

Defines the local path or working folder $LOCAL for the element.

url

An optional URL address pointing to the element online help.

configuration

Defines the bidirectional or unidirectional element configuration.

frequency

Central frequency of the waveguide. A Taylor expansion around this frequency is performed to estimate the propagation transfer function of the waveguide.

THz*

*std. unit is Hz

length

The length of the waveguide.

reflectivity

Defines the reflectivity of the mirror.

orthogonal identifier 1

The first identifier used to track an orthogonal mode of an optical waveguide. For most waveguide, two orthogonal identifiers '1' and '2' are available (with the default labels 'TE' and 'TM' respectively).

label 1

The label corresponding to the first orthogonal identifier.

loss 1

The loss corresponding to the first orthogonal identifier.

effective index 1

The effective index corresponding to the first orthogonal identifier.

group index 1

The group index coefficient corresponding to the first orthogonal identifier.

dispersion 1

The dispersion coefficient corresponding to the first orthogonal identifier.

orthogonal identifier 2

The second identifier used to track an orthogonal mode of an optical waveguide. For most waveguide, two orthogonal identifiers '1' and '2' are available (with the default labels 'TE' and 'TM' respectively).

label 2

The label corresponding to the second orthogonal identifier.

loss 2

The loss corresponding to the second orthogonal identifier.

effective index 2

The effective index corresponding to the second orthogonal identifier.

group index 2

The group index coefficient corresponding to the second orthogonal identifier.

dispersion 2

The dispersion coefficient corresponding to the second orthogonal identifier.

effective index temperature sensitivity 1

Defines the ratio between effective index variation and temperature.

excess loss temperature sensitivity 1

Defines the ratio between loss variation and temperature.

effective index temperature sensitivity 2

Defines the ratio between effective index variation and temperature.

excess loss temperature sensitivity 2

Defines the ratio between loss variation and temperature.

thermal effects

Defines whether or not to enable thermal effects.

temperature

Defines the temperature.

nominal temperature

Defines the nominal temperature where temperature sensitivity values are measured.

thermal fill factor

The waveguide length ratio affected by the thermal effects.

single tap filter

Defines whether or not to use a single tap digital filter to represent the element transfer function in time domain.

number of taps estimation

Defines the method used to estimate the number of taps of the digital filter.

filter fit tolerance

Defines the mean square error for the fitting function.

Defines the time delay equivalent to a number of coefficients for digital filter.

initialize filter taps

Defines whether to use the initial input signal to initialize filter state values or to set them to zero values.

run diagnostic

Enables the frequency response of the designed filter implementation and the ideal frequency response to be generated as results.

diagnostic size

The number of frequency points used when calculating the filter frequency response.
