tidy3d.components.monitor.Monitor#

class Monitor[source]#

Bases: AbstractMonitor

Abstract base class for monitors.

Parameters:
  • center (Attribute: center) –

    Type

    Tuple[float, float, float]

    Default

    = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

    Units

    um

    Description

    Center of object in x, y, and z.

  • size (Attribute: size) –

    Type

    Tuple[NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat]

    Default

    Units

    um

    Description

    Size in x, y, and z directions.

  • name (Attribute: name) –

    Type

    ConstrainedStrValue

    Default

    Description

    Unique name for monitor.

  • interval_space (Attribute: interval_space) –

    Type

    Tuple[Literal[1], Literal[1], Literal[1]]

    Default

    = (1, 1, 1)

    Description

    Number of grid step intervals between monitor recordings. If equal to 1, there will be no downsampling. If greater than 1, the step will be applied, but the first and last point of the monitor grid are always included. Not all monitors support values different from 1.

  • colocate (Attribute: colocate) –

    Type

    Literal[True]

    Default

    = True

    Description

    Defines whether fields are colocated to grid cell boundaries (i.e. to the primal grid) on-the-fly during a solver run. Can be toggled for field recording monitors and is hard-coded for other monitors depending on their specific function.
