Once the overlap / power can be computed, the fields can be normalized. Intensity is useful for visualizations and some applications. The overlap integral is also necessary to calculate mode coefficients given an arbitrary field profile.

(Consistent with meep, tidy3D, and ultimately, Snyder and Love).
