tidy3d.FieldProjectionSurface#

class tidy3d.FieldProjectionSurface#

Data structure to store surface monitors where near fields are recorded for field projections.

Parameters
  • monitor (FieldMonitor) – FieldMonitor on which near fields will be sampled and integrated.

  • normal_dir (Literal['+', '-']) – Direction of the surface monitor’s normal vector w.r.t. the positive x, y or z unit vectors. Must be one of ‘+’ or ‘-‘.
