Polarization{}¶

Calling sequence

Gain{ Polarization{ } }

Functionality

When Semiclassic{ Linewidth } is defined in the input file, Polarization specifies the electric field polarization used for Fermi’s golden rule. The simulation \(z\) axis is along the growth direction.

Example

Gain{
    # TE polarization
    Polarization{
        Re = [1, 0, 0]
        Im = [0, 0, 0]
    }

    # TM polarization
    Polarization{
        Re = [0, 0, 1]
        Im = [0, 0, 0]
    }
}

Polarization{ Re }¶

Calling sequence

Gain{ Polarization{ Re } }

Properties

type: \(\mathrm{vector\;of\;3\;real\;numbers}\)
unit: \(\mathrm{-}\)

Functionality

Specifies the real part of the polarization vector. The complex vector is internally normalized to \(|\epsilon|^2=1\).

Polarization{ Im }¶

Calling sequence

Gain{ Polarization{ Im } }

Properties

type: \(\mathrm{vector\;of\;3\;real\;numbers}\)
unit: \(\mathrm{-}\)

Functionality

Specifies the imaginary part of the polarization vector. The complex vector is internally normalized to \(|\epsilon|^2=1\).
