pyOptiShared.Designs.flex_taper(widths: ndarray, input_length: float = 0.3, taper_length: float = 1.0, in_width: float = 0.5, out_width: float = 2.0, resolution: int = 20, layer: int = 1, write: bool = False) → Library

Creates a taper waveguide with varying widths.

Parameters:

• widths (np.ndarray) – array of widths that defines the taper section

• input_length (float, optional) – input waveguide length. Defaults to 0.3.

• taper_length (float, optional) – taper length. Defaults to 1.0.

• in_width (float, optional) – input waveguide width. Defaults to 0.5.

• out_width (float, optional) – output waveguide width. Defaults to 2.0.

• resolution (int, optional) – the order of polynomial fit used to smooth the widths of the taper section. Defaults to 20.

• layer (int, optional) – Defines the layer number of the device.

• write (bool, optional) – Use to write the generated gds. Defaults to False.

Returns:

gdstk library that holds the created device.

Return type:

gdstk.library
