tidy3d.ModeMonitor#
- class tidy3d.ModeMonitor#
Monitorthat records amplitudes from modal decomposition of fields on plane.- 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.
mode_spec (ModeSpec) – Parameters to feed to mode solver which determine modes measured by monitor.
Example
>>> mode_spec = ModeSpec(num_modes=3) >>> monitor = ModeMonitor( ... center=(1,2,3), ... size=(2,2,0), ... freqs=[200e12, 210e12], ... mode_spec=mode_spec, ... name='mode_monitor')
