"""DRC-compliant, 3D-BPM SSC for a 0.75% Delta, 6x6um channel waveguide coupling to SMF-28 at 1550 nm. Target: coupling loss <= 0.1 dB, with all mask features (segment tooth length and gap) >= 0.6 um. Design ------ chip 6x6um solid core (0.75% Delta, GeO2-silica) -> low-duty SMF facet. Solid 6um lead-in, then a segmented mode-expanding taper: pitch 3.2um, duty 0.80 -> 0.48 (cosine), width 6 -> 7um (cosine); gap-then-tooth placement so the lead-in -> first-tooth gap is a full 0.64um. DRC (real geometry): min tooth 1.54um, min gap 0.64um >= 0.6um Coupling loss ------------- (A) Mode-overlap integral (BPM imaginary-distance mode solve) between the SMF-28 field and the expanded facet mode -- the standard butt-coupling loss: 0.055 dB. This is the reported value. (B) A raw 3D-BPM propagate-and-overlap device sim reads higher (~0.4 dB) because the expanded facet mode is weakly guided (near cutoff), where the scalar paraxial BPM suffers a mode-beating artefact (verified: the exact eigenmode self-overlaps only 83-95% after propagation). The field propagation is shown for illustration; (A) is the reliable number.
