class JaxSimulation[source]#

Bases: Simulation, JaxObject

A Simulation registered with jax.

Parameters:

attrs (dict = {}) – Dictionary storing arbitrary metadata for a Tidy3D object. This dictionary can be freely used by the user for storing data without affecting the operation of Tidy3D as it is not used internally. Note that, unlike regular Tidy3D fields, attrs are mutable. For example, the following is allowed for setting an attr obj.attrs['foo'] = bar. Also note that Tidy3D` will raise a TypeError if attrs contain objects that can not be serialized. One can check if attrs are serializable by calling obj.json().
center (Union[tuple[Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box]], Box] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)) – [units = um]. Center of object in x, y, and z.
size (Union[tuple[Union[pydantic.v1.types.NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[pydantic.v1.types.NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[pydantic.v1.types.NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box]], Box]) – [units = um]. Size in x, y, and z directions.

structures (Tuple[Structure, ...] = ()) – Tuple of structures present in simulation. Note: Structures defined later in this list override the simulation material properties in regions of spatial overlap.

Each element can be 0 (no symmetry), 1 (even, i.e. ‘PMC’ symmetry) or -1 (odd, i.e. ‘PEC’ symmetry). Note that the vectorial nature of the fields must be taken into account to correctly determine the symmetry value.

If None, PML boundary conditions are applied on all sides.

Supply a SubpixelSpec to this field to select subpixel averaging methods separately on dielectric, metal, and PEC material interfaces. Alternatively, user may supply a boolean value: True to apply the default subpixel averaging methods corresponding to SubpixelSpec() , or False to apply staircasing.
courant (ConstrainedFloatValue = 0.99) – Normalized Courant stability factor that is no larger than 1 when CFL stability condition is met. It controls time step to spatial step ratio. Lower values lead to more stable simulations for dispersive materials, but result in longer simulation times.
normalize_index (Optional[NonNegativeInt] = 0) – Index of the source in the tuple of sources whose spectrum will be used to normalize the frequency-dependent data. If None, the raw field data is returned unnormalized.
shutoff (NonNegativeFloat = 1e-05) – Ratio of the instantaneous integrated E-field intensity to the maximum value at which the simulation will automatically terminate time stepping. Used to prevent extraneous run time of simulations with fully decayed fields. Set to 0 to disable this feature.
run_time (Union[PositiveFloat, RunTimeSpec]) – [units = sec]. Total electromagnetic evolution time in seconds. Note: If simulation ‘shutoff’ is specified, simulation will terminate early when shutoff condition met. Alternatively, user may supply a RunTimeSpec to this field, which will auto-compute the run_time based on the contents of the spec. If this option is used, the evaluated run_time value is available in the Simulation._run_time property.

grad_monitors (Tuple[FieldMonitor, ...] = ()) – Tuple of monitors used for storing fields, used internally for gradients.
grad_eps_monitors (Tuple[PermittivityMonitor, ...] = ()) – Tuple of monitors used for storing epsilon, used internally for gradients.

run_time_adjoint (Optional[PositiveFloat] = None) – [units = sec]. Custom run_time to use for adjoint simulation. If not supplied or None, uses a factor times the adjoint source fwidth.
