tidy3d.EMELengthSweep

class EMELengthSweep

Bases: EMESweepSpec

Spec for sweeping EME cell lengths.

Parameters:

scale_factors (ArrayLike) – Length scale factors to be used in the EME propagation step. The EME propagation step is repeated after scaling every cell length by this amount. The results are stored in ‘sim_data.smatrix’. If a 2D array is provided, the first index is the sweep index and the second index is the cell index, allowing a nonuniform cell scaling along the propagation axis.

Notes

Varies the lengths of EME cells without re-solving modes. This is useful for optimizing device length, since only the propagation phase accumulated within each cell changes. If a 2D array is provided for scale_factors, different cells can be scaled independently at each sweep index.

Example

>>> sweep_spec = EMELengthSweep(scale_factors=[0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0])
