v0.1.19

Cleanup:

• removing old files to make the PDK smaller

KLayout updates:

• wavelength length measurement
• waveguide resize
• Toolbar button for INTERCONNECT

CML updates:

• ebeam_wg_integral loss dB/cm updated based on experimental results

FDTD simulation files

• added files for the grating coupler
• added files for the terminator and disconnected

v0.1.18

• Monte Carlo GUI
• Monte Carlo CML component – INTERCONNECT calls FDTD, and updates S-Params
• Waveguide resize
• Monte Carlo for most components (GC, Y, waveguide)

v0.1.17

• ring Monte Carlo; using point-coupled model for interpolation; Sparam model for the nominal design simulation.

v0.1.16

• Ring resonator CML update

v0.1.15

• GUI for the Monte Carlo simulations

v0.1.14

• Added Monte Carlo for the directional coupler used for ring resonators
• automated S-parameter generation for both nominal design simulation, and for Monte Carlo

v0.1.13

Updates to the Monte Carlo simulation.

• Please install the latest version of INTERCONNECT (Feb 2016 version).
• Please update the CML. The file should be ebeam_v1.2_2016_02_19.cml. In the Design kits section in INTERCONNECT, you should see a folder v1.2.2016_02_19 if it is correctly installed.
• Please update the scripts for KLayout. In the SiEPIC menu, you should see "Lumerical INTERCONNECT - WtW Monte Carlo simulations"

To run a Monte Carlo simulation:

• Add one laser, and at least one detector.
• To speed up performance, it is recommended that you copy and paste one circuit at a time into a new layout.
• Verify your circuit.
• perform a single simulation to make sure it works
• "Lumerical INTERCONNECT - WtW Monte Carlo simulations". This performs Wafer to Wafer variability simulations.

v0.1.12

Minor improvements:

• non-Manhattan WG check
• Path to Waveguide hierarchy-check
• SiEPIC configure, short-cut keys, settings
• Strict pin connection verification / extraction
• Updating waveguide loss values (WG and Bragg)

v0.1.11

• added a taper
• Monte Carlo

v0.1.10

• Bragg grating
• Advanced Monte Carlo for waveguides
• Updated CML
• PDK Documentation on fabrication
