function pwp_power_flux	(	in	pwp,
		in	simulation,
		in	varargin
	)

Compute the power flux for a field specified by a certain plane wave pattern.

The power flux is evaluated according to the formula $P = \frac{2\pi^2}{\omega k \mu_0}\sum_{j=1}^2 \int\dd{\alpha}\int\dd{\beta}\sin(\beta) \abs{g_j(\alpha,\beta)}^2$ , see the theory section.

Parameters

pwp	(celes_planeWavePattern): plane wave pattern of the field for which the power flux shall be evaluated
simulation	(celes_simulation object): simulation object that stores all parameters of the simulation
Optional	direction (string): select 'forward' or 'backward'. If specified, only partial waves propagating in the forward or backward z-direction are considered

Return values

P	(float): power flux
