tidy3d.FluxMonitor

class tidy3d.FluxMonitor

Monitor that records power flux through a plane in the frequency domain.

Parameters

• center (Tuple[float, float, float] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)) – [units = um]. Center of object in x, y, and z.

• size (Tuple[NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat]) – [units = um]. Size in x, y, and z directions.

• name (ConstrainedStrValue) – Unique name for monitor.

• freqs (Union[Tuple[float, ...], Array]) – [units = Hz]. Array or list of frequencies stored by the field monitor.

Example

>>> monitor = FluxMonitor(
...     center=(1,2,3),
...     size=(2,2,0),
...     freqs=[200e12, 210e12],
...     name='flux_monitor')
