Description

This project looks excellent! 🚀

In GDSFactory, we currently support integrations with:

  • Tidy3D
  • Lumerical
  • Luminescent
  • MEEP
  • FDTDZ

I’ve added this project to the Awesome Photonics list.

What do you think about adding an extension for FDTDx as well?

You can find more details on the existing plugin architecture here:

The best plugin is the one from tidy3d

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing plugin architecture at https://gdsfactory.github.io/gplugins/, especially the tidy3d plugin, and implement a similar FDTDx plugin, integrating with JAX.
