SPLayout 0.5.2

Silicon Photonics Design Tools for GDSII Files.

SPLayout (Silicon Photonics Layout Design Tools) is a package for silicon photonics structures design. It provides commonly used silicon photonics structure classes for fast integration and pixelized blocks for inverse design and optimization. Some inverse design algorithms are also integrated in it like DBS (Direct Binary Search) and BBA (Binary Bat Algorithm).

The GDSII streaming is based on gdspy(https://github.com/heitzmann/gdspy) and FDTD simulation is executed on Ansys Lumerical.

Dependency
