compute_gradient_from_fields

Parametrization.compute_gradient_from_fields(gradient_fields: ndarray, fdtd_session: FdtdSession, params: ndarray, polygon_name: str | None = None) → ndarray

Compute the gradient for a Parametrization.

Parameters:

gradient_fieldsnp.ndarray

Adjoint gradient fields with shape (nx, ny, nz, 3), already summed over wavelengths.

fdtd_sessionFdtdSession

Active FDTD session used to compute finite-difference Jacobians.

paramsnp.ndarray

Current optimization parameter values.

polygon_namestr, optional

Ignored. Accepted to match the BaseParametrization API so CombinedParametrization can pass per-child overrides uniformly. Parametrization does not back a single polygon object, so the override has no effect here.

Returns:

np.ndarray

1D gradient array with length equal to the number of optimization parameters.
