tidy3d.AnisotropicMedium#

class tidy3d.AnisotropicMedium#

Diagonally anisotripic medium.

Parameters

name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional unique name for medium.
frequency_range (Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None) – [units = (Hz, Hz)]. Optional range of validity for the medium.
xx (Medium) – Medium describing the xx-component of the diagonal permittivity tensor.
yy (Medium) – Medium describing the yy-component of the diagonal permittivity tensor.
zz (Medium) – Medium describing the zz-component of the diagonal permittivity tensor.

Note

Only diagonal anisotropy and non-dispersive components are currently supported.

Example

>>> medium_xx = Medium(permittivity=4.0)
>>> medium_yy = Medium(permittivity=4.1)
>>> medium_zz = Medium(permittivity=3.9)
>>> anisotropic_dielectric = AnisotropicMedium(xx=medium_xx, yy=medium_yy, zz=medium_zz)
