Silicon Photonics Simulation Framework

Open-source silicon photonics device simulation framework.

• Define photonic layouts using gdsfactory
• Simulate devices using Meep
• Extract useful physical quantities and S-parameters
• Fit compact models
• Simulate circuits using SAX

Core tools:

• gdsfactory
• Meep
• SAX
• KLayout
• Femwell
• pytest
