tidy3d.FluxMonitor#
- class tidy3d.FluxMonitor#
Monitorthat records power flux in the frequency domain. If the monitor geometry is a 2D box, the total flux through this plane is returned, with a positive sign corresponding to power flow in the positive direction along the axis normal to the plane. If the geometry is a 3D box, the total power coming out of the box is returned by integrating the flux over all box surfaces (excpet the ones defined inexclude_surfaces).- 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.
apodization (ApodizationSpec = ApodizationSpec(start=None, end=None, width=None, type='ApodizationSpec')) – Sets parameters of (optional) apodization. Apodization applies a windowing function to the Fourier transform of the time-domain fields into frequency-domain ones, and can be used to truncate the beginning and/or end of the time signal, for example to eliminate the source pulse when studying the eigenmodes of a system. Note: apodization affects the normalization of the frequency-domain fields.
normal_dir (Optional[Literal['+', '-']] = None) – Direction of the surface monitor’s normal vector w.r.t. the positive x, y or z unit vectors. Must be one of
'+'or'-'. Applies to surface monitors only, and defaults to'+'if not provided.exclude_surfaces (Optional[Tuple[Literal['x-', 'x+', 'y-', 'y+', 'z-', 'z+'], ...]] = None) – Surfaces to exclude in the integration, if a volume monitor.
Example
>>> monitor = FluxMonitor( ... center=(1,2,3), ... size=(2,2,0), ... freqs=[200e12, 210e12], ... name='flux_monitor')
