class PlaneWave(*, wavelength, polarization, amplitude)[source]#

Bases: PLANEWAVE, BaseSource

Represents a plane wave light source for optical simulations.

Parameters:

  • wavelength (units.Quantity) – Wavelength of the light field in meters.

  • polarization (BasePolarization | units.Quantity) – Polarization state of the light field, if float is given it is assumed Linear polarization of angle theta.

  • amplitude (units.Quantity) – Amplitude of the electric field.

amplitude: ElectricField#
plot(color='red', opacity=0.8, show_axis_label=False)[source]#

Plots the 3D structure of the Gaussian source.

This method creates a 3D plot of the Gaussian source, adds the structure to the plot, and optionally displays axis labels.

Parameters:

  • color (str) – The color of the structure in the plot. Default is ‘red’.

  • opacity (float) – The opacity of the structure. Default is 0.8.

  • show_axis_label (bool) – If True, axis labels will be shown. Default is False.

Return type:

None
