A public-alpha Python API for predicting photonic circuits from GDS layouts and layer stacks.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.
For
Photonic-circuit designers using GDS layouts
Worth noticing
The starter uses a 15 µm Y-branch example and exports its S-matrix as a Touchstone .s3p file.

Field notes

The starter script installs a Python package, defines cladding and layer refractive indices, and loads an example GDS layout before making a prediction call. That call specifies an input port, TE mode, and 1.55 wavelength, then exports an .s3p file; the page also refers to saved field arrays. The field preview is labeled as a sample, so it does not independently demonstrate a live run.
