I have been following the FDTD tutorials for GPAW, and have been able to determine how to print the electric field strength (magnitude), but not the components of the electric field. How would I do this?

Thank you, Jason Gray

The tutorials I am following are: this one for the classical case and this one for the hybrid quantum/classical scheme.

You can get the induced field components from an induced field object. If you call your induced field object ind, then you can get the Fourier transform of the field components by accessing ind.Fef_wvg. Adding the initial kick strength to this and taking the magnitude you can get the total electric field. Comparing the total electric field magnitude to the field enhancement (ind.Ffe_wg) times the initial field magnitude you should get the same value.
