Silicon Photonics Toolkit

Getting Started

Silicon Photonics Toolkit is a toolkit providing fundamental waveguide and material properties to aid in the design of silicon photonic components on SOI platforms with high accuracy and extremely fast runtime. See the documentation for tutorials and API reference.

Installation

Pip

The package can be installed via pip:

pip install sipkit

You can install siphotonics with additional packages for developers:

pip install sipkit[dev]
