Integrated photonics¶

A rendered device and an analytic transmission curve. Inklet 3.0.

What this figure shows¶

The chip, waveguides and fibres are an original conceptual illustration. The companion curve multiplies two analytic Lorentzian dips; it is not an optical simulation of the geometry.

Run the example¶

Install the rendering extras from the release checkout. This example also requires Blender with Cycles and Freestyle. See installation for the release checkout and showcase setup for independent PDF previews.

python -m pip install -e '.[render,images]'
python tools/showcase_gallery.py --only photonics --quality final

Open out/showcase/photonics/figure.html to review the result. The same folder contains figure.svg, figure.pdf and figure.png.

Adapt it¶

Change the scene geometry or materials in the scene builder, then render again. Camera and material overrides are described in the Blender scene guide.
