Member Function Documentation

ApplyBoundaryResponse() [1/2]

static ComplexAmplitude ApplyBoundaryResponse ( ComplexAmplitude  incidentField, BoundaryResponseBase  boundaryResponse, VectorD  samplingDistance  )

static

Applies a boundary response on a harmonic field.

Parameters

incidentField	The incident field on which the boundary response shall be applied.
boundaryResponse	The boundary response to apply.
samplingDistance	The sampling distance of the resulting field. To avoid aliasing effects, the sampling distance should be a divisor of the sampling distance of the incident field. If necessary, the incident field is resampled to this sampling distance using the Accelerated Sinc-Interpolation.

Returns

A harmonic field where the boundary response has been applied on the incident field.

ApplyBoundaryResponse() [2/2]

static HarmonicFieldsSet ApplyBoundaryResponse ( HarmonicFieldsSet  incidentField, BoundaryResponseBase  boundaryResponse, VectorD  samplingDistance  )

static

Applies a boundary response on a harmonic fields sets.

Parameters

incidentField	The incident field on which the boundary response shall be applied.
boundaryResponse	The boundary response to apply.
samplingDistance	The sampling distance of all member fields the resulting fields set. To avoid aliasing effects, the sampling distance should be a divisor of the sampling distance of the incident fields. If necessary, the incident fields are resampled to this sampling distance using the Accelerated Sinc-Interpolation.

Returns

A harmonic fields set where the boundary response has been applied on the incident field.

GenerateTransitionPointLayers2DFromStack()

static SampledTransitionPointLayers2D GenerateTransitionPointLayers2DFromStack ( OpticalStack  stackToConvert, HomogeneousMedium  mediumInfront, HomogeneousMedium  mediumBehind, double  wavelength, double  accuracyTPL = 1.0, bool  reverseLayers = false  )

static

This method converts an optical stack to the y-invariant "transition point layers" structure definition that is used by the FMM.

Parameters

stackToConvert	The optical stack that shall be converted.
mediumBehind	The medium behind the stack.
mediumInfront	The medium in front of the stack, i.e. the medium in which the incoming light is defined.
wavelength	The wavelength that should be used for calculating the refractive indices.
accuracyTPL	Optional accuracy factor that is used for the generation of both the layers and the transition points. If not specified, a value of 1 is taken.
reverseLayers	If this optional parameter is set to true, the order of the layers is reversed, i. e. the stack is orientated towards the incoming light.

Returns

The "transition point layers" structure definition that can used by the two-dimensional FMM.

GenerateTransitionPointLayers3DFromStack()

static TransitionPointLayers3D GenerateTransitionPointLayers3DFromStack ( OpticalStack  stackToConvert, HomogeneousMedium  mediumInfront, HomogeneousMedium  mediumBehind, double  wavelength, double  accuracyTPL = 1.0, bool  reverseLayers = false  )

static

This method converts an optical stack to the three-dimensional "transition point layers" structure definition that is used by the FMM.

Parameters

stackToConvert	The optical stack that shall be converted.
mediumBehind	The medium behind the stack.
mediumInfront	The medium in front of the stack, i.e. the medium in which the incoming light is defined.
wavelength	The wavelength that should be used for calculating the refractive indices.
accuracyTPL	Optional accuracy factor that is used for the generation of both the layers and the transition points. If not specified, a value of 1 is taken.
reverseLayers	If this optional parameter is set to true, the order of the layers is reversed, i. e. the stack is orientated towards the incoming light.

Returns

The "transition point layers" structure definition that can used by the three-dimensional FMM.
