Reply To: Electric field from Frequency-domain monitor

[Greg Baethge]

Hi Debasish, thank you for posting your question. The fields recorded by frequency domain monitors are normalized to the source spectrum (see this page), but not to the source amplitude. For sources like plane wave or beams, the default source amplitude is set to 1 V/m (defining the amplitude of the electric field), and can be changed in the source settings. If you change it, you will see this affecting the field amplitude recorded by the monitors.
