Release of EPIPPROP Version 3.4
With EPIPPROP Version 3.4, it is now possible to perform the real-world design of AWGs and echelle gratings.
In this latest version, you can model the effects of real-world factors such as manufacturing defects and temperature variations on AWGs and echelle diffraction gratings.
- New features include the ability to model manufacturing defects as variations in layer thickness using a random noise profile or imported files. You can also include temperature and refractive index variations in the simulation.
- With the "Etch & Fill" process, you can create much more flexible waveguide shapes.
- The calculation accuracy of the optical path length for each output waveguide has been improved.
- Multiple bug fixes.
