# ContinuousWave

Source time dependence that ramps smoothly to a continuous oscillation and holds until the end of the simulation.

# Central Frequency

freq0: Central frequency of the continuous oscillation.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: THz (default unit), GHz, MHz, or Hz
  • Constraint: greater than 0
  • Required field

# Frequency Width

fwidth: Frequency width that controls the smoothness of the ramp-up.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: THz (default unit), GHz, MHz, or Hz
  • Constraint: greater than 0
  • Required field

# Offset

offset: Delay of the ramp center in units of 1 / (2π fwidth).

Type: floating-point number

  • Constraint: greater than or equal to 2.5
  • Default: 5

# Amplitude

amplitude: Real-valued maximum amplitude of the time dependence.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: unitless
  • Constraint: greater than or equal to 0
  • Default: 1

# Phase

phase: Phase shift of the time dependence.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: degree (default)
  • Default: 0
