Visual representation of different structure ports in schematics of photonic integrated circuits

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising stored instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• access a schematic of a photonic integrated circuit, the schematic comprising a plurality of connected optical components, wherein the optical components have ports and the optical components are connected at the ports;
• determine structures of the ports;
• and
• provide the schematic with visual indicators for the ports based on the determined structures of the ports, wherein the ports with different structures are associated with different visual indicators.

A system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled with the memory and to execute the instructions, the instructions when executed cause the processor to:
• access a schematic of a photonic integrated circuit, the schematic comprising a plurality of connected optical components, wherein the optical components have ports and the optical components are connected at the ports;
• determine structures of the ports;
• and
• provide the schematic with visual indicators for the ports based on the determined structures of the ports, wherein the ports with different structures are associated with different visual indicators.
