论文摘要
我们提出了Simphony，这是一种在Python中实现的免费和开源软件工具箱，用于抽象和模拟光子集成电路。该工具箱既快速又易于扩展；可以编写插件以提供与现有布局工具的兼容性，并且可以在不深刻了解编程的情况下轻松创建设备库。我们提供了具有新功能的光子电路模拟的几个示例，并在领先的市售软件工具上演示了超过20倍的速度。
We present Simphony, a free and open-source software toolbox for abstracting and simulating photonic integrated circuits, implemented in Python. The toolbox is both fast and easily extensible; plugins can be written to provide compatibility with existing layout tools, and device libraries can be easily created without a deep knowledge of programming. We include several examples of photonic circuit simulations with novel features and demonstrate a speedup of more than 20x over a leading commercially available software tool.
