tidy3d.ModulationSpec

class ModulationSpec

Specification adding space-time modulation to the non-dispersive part of medium including relative permittivity at infinite frequency and electric conductivity.

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().

• permittivity (Optional[SpaceTimeModulation] = None) – Space-time modulation of relative permittivity at infinite frequency applied on top of the base permittivity at infinite frequency.

• conductivity (Optional[SpaceTimeModulation] = None) – Space-time modulation of electric conductivity applied on top of the base conductivity.
