Name MaxwellFieldsCoordinate
Section Maxwell::Output
Type block

The Maxwell MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block allows to output Maxwell fields at particular points in space. For each point a new line with three columns has to be added to the block, where the columns denote the x, y, and z coordinate of the point.

Name MaxwellTDOutput
Section Maxwell::Output
Type flag
Default maxwell_energy

Defines what should be output during the time-dependent Maxwell simulation. Many of the options can increase the computational cost of the simulation, so only use the ones that you need. In most cases the default value is enough, as it is adapted to the details of the TD run. WARNING: the calculation of the longitudinal or transverse E and B fields can be very expensive, so please consider using the MaxwellOutput block to calculate and output these quantities at certain timesteps.

Options:

• maxwell_total_e_field:
  Output of the total (longitudinal plus transverse) electric field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block
  
• maxwell_total_b_field:
  Output of the total (longitudinal plus transverse) magnetic field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block
  
• maxwell_longitudinal_e_field:
  Output of the longitudinal electric field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block (can slow down the run)
  
• maxwell_longitudinal_b_field:
  Output of the longitudinal magnetic field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block (can slow down the run)
  
• maxwell_transverse_e_field:
  Output of the transverse electric field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block (can slow down the run)
  
• maxwell_transverse_b_field:
  Output of the transverse magnetic field at the points specified in the MaxwellFieldsCoordinate block (can slow down the run)
  
• maxwell_energy:
  Output of the electromagnetic field energy into the folder td.general/maxwell. WARNING: the transverse and longitudinal energies will be correct only if you request the longitudinal and transverse E or B fields as output. Otherwise they will be set to zero.
  
• e_field_surface_x:
  Output of the E field sliced along the plane x=0 for each field component
  
• e_field_surface_y:
  Output of the E field sliced along the plane y=0 for each field component
  
• e_field_surface_z:
  Output of the E field sliced along the plane z=0 for each field component
  
• b_field_surface_x:
  Output of the B field sliced along the plane x=0 for each field component
  
• b_field_surface_y:
  Output of the B field sliced along the plane y=0 for each field component
  
• b_field_surface_z:
  Output of the B field sliced along the plane z=0 for each field component
