[Meep-discuss] How to control the continuous source

2011-02-09 Thread Khan
Dear MEEP users, I am using continuous source in my simulations. I am confused about the properties of continuous source i.e. start-time, end-time, width and cutoff. I want to achieve the steady state response. I don't know how to calculate the values for start-time, end-time,

Hi meep users, I am trying to tilt my source. my source is located in the dielectric waveguide medium So when I set the k, should I use the refractive index of waveguide medium in to the wave vector scale definition as the following: (define-param kdir (vector3 1 -1)) (define k (vector3-scale

Dear Khan, 1. Continuous sources are more useful for field pattern visualization and not for the probing of characteristics of the given the system (ex cavity resonance). 2. Continuous source will never die (because it is continuous) unless specifying the width. There is no point in
