Q_factor_Nanophotonic_Resonator

Description

A nanophotonic resonator with high Q-factor and low mode volume is a promising system for creating optoelectronic devices on a chip and enhancing the light-matter interaction. In this work, the parameters of a silicon nitride nanophotonic resonator have been optimized to generate high-quality resonant states. The calculations were carried out using a deterministic method of achieving high Q-factor values.

Launch of project

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/AIGarifullin/Q_factor_Nanophotonic_Resonator

Create and activate virtual environment:

python3 -m venv env

• If you have Linux/macOS

  source env/bin/activate
  

• Or Windows (Git Bash)

  source env/scripts/activate
  

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Install requirements from requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

After this, you can select the definite folder and open the phcr-cavity-Control.ipynb Jupyter file and special .py file. After this, you can solve some problems like calculation of Q-factor and plot the dispersion relations, transmission spectra, etc.
