photonoxide for Python
photonoxide is a photonics library in Rust whose every method is checked against an analytic solution or a published result, in a validation report. This package brings a part of it to Python, and through Python to MATLAB:
- the materials catalogue: indices with their source, validity range and conditions;
- waveguide modes: the exact slab, and full-vector modes of a cross-section with their fields;
- jobs (TOML, JSON or YAML, or a dict), run as the photonoxide program runs them, and an FDFD job's S-parameters;
- circuits from a netlist given as data, and Touchstone files.
pip install photonoxide
Wheels for CPython 3.10 and later on Linux, macOS and Windows; nothing else to install.
import photonoxide as po
si = po.refractive_index("si", wavelength_um=1.55).real # Li 1980
ox = po.refractive_index("sio2", wavelength_um=1.55).real # Malitson 1965
for polarization in ("te", "tm"):
for mode in po.slab_modes(below=ox, core=si, above=ox, thickness_um=0.22,
polarization=polarization, wavelength_um=1.55):
print(f"{polarization.upper()}{mode.order}: n_eff = {mode.effective_index:.4f}")
It prints TE0: n_eff = 2.8475 and TM0: n_eff = 2.0531.
Units are in the names (wavelength_um, thickness_um), as photonoxide's job files have them;
arrays are NumPy's, in C order, with their coordinates; errors are photonoxide's, with its
messages. The package's version is the Rust crate's it was built from. The guide, with MATLAB's
use: docs/python.md.
