tidy3d.EMEExplicitGrid

class EMEExplicitGrid

Bases: EMEGridSpec

EME grid with explicitly defined internal boundaries.

Parameters:

• attrs (dict = {}) – Dictionary storing arbitrary metadata for a Tidy3D object. This dictionary can be freely used by the user for storing data without affecting the operation of Tidy3D as it is not used internally. Note that, unlike regular Tidy3D fields, attrs are mutable. For example, the following is allowed for setting an attr obj.attrs['foo'] = bar. Also note that Tidy3D` will raise a TypeError if attrs contain objects that can not be serialized. One can check if attrs are serializable by calling obj.json().

• mode_specs (List[EMEModeSpec]) – Mode specifications for each cell in the explicit EME grid.

• boundaries (List[float]) – List of coordinates of internal cell boundaries along the propagation axis. Must contain one fewer item than ‘mode_specs’, and must be strictly increasing. Each cell spans the region between an adjacent pair of boundaries. The first (last) cell spans the region between the first (last) boundary and the simulation boundary.

Example

>>> from tidy3d import EMEExplicitGrid, EMEModeSpec
>>> mode_spec1 = EMEModeSpec(num_modes=10)
>>> mode_spec2 = EMEModeSpec(num_modes=20)
>>> eme_grid = EMEExplicitGrid(
...     mode_specs=[mode_spec1, mode_spec2],
...     boundaries=[1],
... )
