tidy3d.DiffractionMonitor
tidy3d.DiffractionMonitor#
- class tidy3d.DiffractionMonitor#
Monitor
that uses a 2D Fourier transform to compute the diffraction amplitudes and efficiency for allowed diffraction orders.- 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 (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'-'
. Defaults to'+'
if not provided.
Example
>>> monitor = DiffractionMonitor( ... center=(1,2,3), ... size=(inf,inf,0), ... freqs=[250e12, 300e12], ... name='diffraction_monitor', ... normal_dir='+', ... )
