- Windows compatible, namely Python 3 compatible.
- Improvements to INTERCONNECT integration.
- Two types of waveguides:
- ROUND_PATH: a single polygon. exports to INTERCONNECT as a single wavelength with a length
- Waveguide_Route: straight waveguide sections + bends, each with Pins. Exports as individual components, so you can include reflections and loss from the bends, and consider manufacturing non-uniformity.
- extra components, both GDS and compact model:
- broad-band directional coupler
- terminator
- PCells:
- ring resonator made up of two directional couplers
- Bragg grating (including compact model in INTERCONNECT)
