tidy3d.components.source.current.CurrentSource#

class CurrentSource[source]#

Bases: Source, ABC

Source implements a current distribution directly.

Parameters:

  • name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional name for the source.

  • center (Optional[tuple[Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[float, autograd.tracer.Box]]] = None) – [units = um]. Center of object in x, y, and z.

  • size (tuple[Union[NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box], Union[NonNegativeFloat, autograd.tracer.Box]]) – [units = um]. Size in x, y, and z directions.

  • source_time (Union[GaussianPulse, ContinuousWave, CustomSourceTime, BroadbandPulse, BasebandStep, BasebandGaussianPulse, BasebandRectangularPulse, BasebandCustomSourceTime]) – Specification of the source time-dependence.

  • polarization (Literal['Ex', 'Ey', 'Ez', 'Hx', 'Hy', 'Hz']) – Specifies the direction and type of current component.
