Notes
-----
The TFSF source injects :math:`\\frac{1 W}{\\mu m^2}` of power along the :attr:`injection_axis`. Note that in the
case of angled incidence, :math:`\\frac{1 W}{\\mu m^2}` is still injected along the source's :attr:`injection_axis`,
The TFSF source injects :math:`1 W` of power per :math:`\\mu m^2` of source area along the :attr:`injection_axis`.
Hence, the normalization for the incident field is :math:`|E_0|^2 = \\frac{2}{c\\epsilon_0}`, for any source size.
Note that in the case of angled incidence, the same power is injected along the source's :attr:`injection_axis`,
and not the propagation direction, unlike a :class:`PlaneWave` source. This allows computing
scattering and absorption cross-sections without the need for additional normalization.
