class Source

Bases: Box, AbstractSource, ABC

Abstract base class for all sources.

Parameters:

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

• 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, CustomSourceTime]) – Specification of the source time-dependence.

Attributes

geometry	Box representation of source.
