Dear Sir,
The tutorial or user manuals of OptiFDTD say that it can provide reflectivity and transmission properties of metamaterials as a function of incident wavelengths. However, it seems that it can only provide near-field response of the metamaterial instead of far-field, which can be experimentally observed and useful to know the actual validiy of the metamaterials. There should be physical principle to transfer near-field response to far-field response for such materials. It will be appreciated if anyone tell me some functions in the OptiFDTD available for this purpose.
Sincerely yours,
As of my last update in September 2021, OptiFDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) is a software tool primarily used for simulating and analyzing the behavior of optical devices and structures in the time domain. It is part of the Optiwave software suite. While OptiFDTD is a powerful tool for studying various optical phenomena, it may not directly provide "far-field reflectivity and transmission spectra" for metamaterials as a built-in feature.
In OptiFDTD, you can simulate the behavior of optical metamaterial structures and analyze various properties such as transmission, reflection, and near-field distributions. However, obtaining the far-field spectra (which typically involves Fourier transforming the near-field data) might require additional post-processing steps or using other software tools for further analysis.
To obtain far-field reflectivity and transmission spectra for metamaterials, you can follow these general steps:
1. **Near-Field Simulation:** Set up your metamaterial structure in OptiFDTD and run simulations to obtain the near-field distributions (e.g., electric field or intensity) at specific frequencies or over a range of wavelengths.
2. **Far-Field Transformation:** After simulating the near-field distributions, you need to transform the near-field data into the far-field domain to obtain the spectra. This transformation involves Fourier transforming the near-field data to obtain the angular and spectral components of the radiation pattern.
3. **Post-Processing or External Tools:** Perform post-processing on the transformed far-field data to obtain the desired reflectivity and transmission spectra. You can use software like MATLAB, Python, or other data analysis tools to handle the Fourier transformation and further analysis.
Keep in mind that the process may vary depending on your specific simulation setup and the type of metamaterial you are working with. Additionally, OptiFDTD might have received updates or added features since my last update, so I recommend checking the latest documentation or contacting the software vendor to see if there are any built-in features or plugins that can help with far-field analysis for metamaterials.
Always ensure that the simulation setup, post-processing, and analysis methods you use are accurate and validated against known results or experimental data to ensure the reliability of your findings.
Optik ftdt'de dalga kılavuzu bir dalga fonksiyonu oluşturabilir. Oluşan bu dalga kılavuzu fonksiyon belirtebilir. Bu fonksiyonunun görüntüsü farklı şekillerde oluşabilir. Bunlar bir takım matematiksel işlemlerdir. Bulunan bu dalga fonksiyonların görüntüsü gerçek veya sonsuzda oluşabilir. Metamalzemenin uzak alan veya yakın alan tepkisi malzemenin üretim şekline ve duyarlılığına bağlıdır. Malzemenin uzak alan tepkisi için farklı özellikler, yakın alan tepkisi için farklı özellikler taşır. Metamalzemenin uzak alan tepkisinin yakın alan tepkisine veya yakın alan tepkisinin uzak alan tepkisine dönüşümü bazı işlemler gerektirir. Bu özellikler yakın alan ve uzak alan tepkisi arasında tamamen farklı veya bir kısmı farklı bir kısmı aynı olabilir. Yani bu ikisi arasındaki iletişim bozulmamalıdır. Bu işlemlere ait hesaplamalar basit veya optik ftdt hesaplamarının yapılabileceği her imkanda yapılabilir.
