Dear Meep users, While I am searching transmission flux for nonlinear media in the forum archive, I am confused.
In the following message, http://www.mail-archive.com/meep-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu/msg02005.html How can I get a nonlinear transmission curves question was asked. Dear Chen denoted that linear transmission flux method is not valid for nonlinear media and it needs to do many simulations for different frequencies. Prof. Steven comment was: Yes, you have to do multiple simulations, one for each frequency. One way is to use a CW source at each frequency and wait for the system to reach steady-state. Another is to use a very narrow-band Gaussian source and wait until the middle of the pulse. But last comment on this question by Prof.Steven was No, not in a nonlinear simulation. Only in a linear simulation is the superposition of many frequencies equivalent to doing one frequency at a time. In a nonlinear simulation, different frequency spectra will give totally different results. What is the difference between these phrases? Does Yes, you have to do multiple simulations, one for each frequency phrase means superposition, doesnt it? What is the point I miss out?
