Open-source simulation and optimization of OPTical IO to integrated photonic chips through MEEP and MPB [1,2]. Currently supports 2D simulations of grating couplers as referenced in [3,4].
- Usage documentation
- Unittests w/ quantitative comparison to benchmark
- Material dispersion
- Improve parameter sweep interface
- Add optimization (NLopt)
- Clean up
