Such a plane wave oscillates in time. I wonder if it is possible to generate a plane wave that is constant in time. That is, it can be expressed as a beam of light like the following:

Hello Hfdihfd, please forgive me if I am mis-understanding your question, but your statement seems unphysical ("a plane wave that is constant in time.") A time-invariant E- or M-field is by definition not a wave and becomes a statics problem, which would be more suited to a finite-element method (FEM) simulation approach rather than FDTD such as MEEP.
It may help for future requests if you are able to label your plots with axes (distance?) and a color legend. If the plot is showing a 2d plane with the color field intensity, it seems like you may be looking for a collimated beam, such as would be produced by a GaussianBeam source?
Admins, suggest marking issue as closed or remove.
I understand that this generates a time-harmonic plane wave whose time dependence is$e^i\omega t$ .
