UniformWave is part of the WaveTrain system class library
UniformWave models an ideal plane wave light source. It transmits uniform intensity continuous wave plane waves with zero tilt for any wavelength requested within a specified range (the specific wavelength is requested by a sensor).
UniformWave is on from t=-infinity: this means it can provide light to a sensor even if the sensor timing requires light to leave the source prior to t=0. Unlike some other sources, UniformWave has no triggering input.
The output "power" is the total power across the whole propagation mesh.
