tidy3d.Debye#

class tidy3d.Debye#

A dispersive medium described by the Debye model. The frequency-dependence of the complex-valued permittivity is described by:

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.
eps_inf (float = 1.0) – [units = None (relative permittivity)]. Relative permittivity at infinite frequency (\(\epsilon_\infty\)).
coeffs (Tuple[Tuple[float, pydantic.types.PositiveFloat], ...]) – [units = (None (relative permittivity), sec)]. List of (\(\Delta\epsilon_i, \tau_i\)) values for model.

Note

\[\epsilon(f) = \epsilon_\infty + \sum_i \frac{\Delta\epsilon_i}{1 - jf\tau_i}\]

Example

>>> debye_medium = Debye(eps_inf=2.0, coeffs=[(1,2),(3,4)])
>>> eps = debye_medium.eps_model(200e12)
