Release of EPIPPROP Version 3.4
Real-world design of AWGs and Echelle gratings with EPIPPROP version 3.4
This new version of EPIPPROP allows the user to model more real-world effects such as manufacturing defects and temperature variations in AWGs and Echelle Gratings:
- Model manufacturing defects by introducing variations to the layer thickness with either a random noise profile or an imported file.
- Vary the temperature and refractive index over the area of the chip as defined by an import file.
- New ‘Etch & Fill’ process type allows for far more flexible waveguide geometries.
- Improved calculation of optical path length for each output waveguide.
- Multiple bug fixes
