tidy3d.components.monitor.AbstractFluxMonitor#

class AbstractFluxMonitor[source]#

Bases: SurfaceIntegrationMonitor, ABC

Monitor that records flux during the solver run.

Parameters:
  • 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.

  • name (ConstrainedStrValue) – Unique name for monitor.

  • interval_space (Tuple[Literal[1], Literal[1], Literal[1]] = (1, 1, 1)) – 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 (Literal[True] = True) – 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.

  • normal_dir (Optional[Literal['+', '-']] = None) – Direction of the surface monitor’s normal vector w.r.t. the positive x, y or z unit vectors. Must be one of '+' or '-'. Applies to surface monitors only, and defaults to '+' if not provided.

  • exclude_surfaces (Optional[Tuple[Literal['x-', 'x+', 'y-', 'y+', 'z-', 'z+'], ...]] = None) – Surfaces to exclude in the integration, if a volume monitor.
