tidy3d.UniformCurrentSource#

class tidy3d.UniformCurrentSource#

Source in a rectangular volume with uniform time dependence. size=(0,0,0) gives point source.

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.
source_time (Union[GaussianPulse, ContinuousWave]) – Specification of the source time-dependence.
name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional name for the source.
polarization (Literal['Ex', 'Ey', 'Ez', 'Hx', 'Hy', 'Hz']) – Specifies the direction and type of current component.

Example

>>> pulse = GaussianPulse(freq0=200e12, fwidth=20e12)
>>> pt_source = UniformCurrentSource(size=(0,0,0), source_time=pulse, polarization='Ex')
