Here are the steps to do that:
  1. Create a plane and group it.
  2. Assign an emitter material to the group.
  3. right-click the group and set Maxwell > Hide... from Camera to Enabled.
We group the plane, because there is no way to hide individual faces from the camera (that is why the Hide from items only appear in the menu when right-clicking on a group or component).
