Plane wave sources are used to inject laterally-uniform electromagnetic energy from one side of the source region. In two-dimensional simulations, the plane wave source injects along a line, …

In physics, a plane wave is a special case of a wave or field: a physical quantity whose value, at any given moment, is constant through any plane that is perpendicular to a fixed direction in …

Diffracting plane wave source is a source in which plane wave propagates through a rectangular aperture. The size of the source defined on the Geometry tab is the dimension of the aperture. …

The plane wave excitation source provides you the opportunity to simulate an incident wave from a source located a large distance from the observed object. In combination with farfield …

The TFSF source is an advanced version of the plane-wave source designed primarily for particle scattering simulations, where the particle may be in a homogeneous medium or on a multi …

In this video lesson, you will learn about three different types of plane wave sources: Bloch/periodic, BFAST, and diffracting. Alternate video link. In this video lesson, we will …

Add a plane wave source to illuminate a model with a uniform electric field. Note: All sources are considered active during the calculation for each plane wave incident direction. On the …

The definition of the plane wave is visualized by a red plane. Colored arrows indicate the propagation direction as well as the electric and magnetic field vectors. Here the electric field …

This notebook demonstrates how to use a total-field scattered-field (TFSF) plane wave source in Tidy3D for FDTD simulations.

by expanding a spherical wave in terms of sum of plane waves and evanescennt waves using Fourier transform technique, we can solve for the solution of a point source near a layered …
