Component Library
The photonic building blocks DsynQ can generate today. Each is backed by a real gdsfactory geometry.
Beam Splitter
Directional 1×2 power splitter
Splits an input mode into two outputs at a configurable ratio. The workhorse of interferometric quantum photonic circuits.
Design thisWaveguide
Single-mode routing element
Low-loss channel that confines and routes light across the chip. The foundation every other component connects to.
Design thisDirectional Coupler
Evanescent 2×2 coupler
Two waveguides brought close so light couples between them - the basis for tunable splitting and switching.
Design thisGrating Coupler
Fiber-to-chip interface
Diffractive grating that couples light between an optical fiber and an on-chip waveguide for I/O.
Design thisMach-Zehnder Interferometer
Tunable interferometric switch
Two splitters bridged by two arms - the programmable unit cell of quantum photonic processors.
