tidy3d.Absorber#

class tidy3d.Absorber#

Bases: tidy3d.components.boundary.AbsorberSpec

Specifies an adiabatic absorber along a single dimension. This absorber is well-suited for dispersive materials intersecting with absorbing edges of the simulation at the expense of more layers.

Parameters

  • name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional unique name for boundary.

  • num_layers (NonNegativeInt = 40) – Number of layers of absorber to add to + and - boundaries.

  • parameters (AbsorberParams = AbsorberParams(sigma_order=3, sigma_min=0.0, sigma_max=6.4, type='AbsorberParams')) – Adiabatic absorber parameters.

Example

>>> pml = Absorber(num_layers=40)
