A Ansys FDTD simulation for phase change due to reflection

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating phase change due to reflection on gold using Ansys FDTD, specifically focusing on discrepancies between observed phase change tendencies and those reported in a reference paper. The setup includes a Frequency Domain Field and a Power monitor, with the light source positioned 1um above the sample. The user seeks insights to improve the simulation accuracy. Key concerns include the configuration of the E-field angle in x-polarization and the placement of monitoring equipment. Guidance from experienced users is requested to resolve these issues.

TL;DR Summary
I set up the FDTD simulation to simulating the phase change due to reflection of difference materials. But the result is not similar with the reference paper
Hello,

I am currently simulating phase change due to reflection on gold (Au) using Ansys FDTD. My setup includes using a Frequency Domain Field and a Power monitor to observe the angle of the E-field in x-polarization. However, the phase change tendencies I'm observing do not match those in my reference paper.
My configuration: The yellow X is Frequency Domain Field and a Power monitor. The light source is 1um above the sample and the monitor is 1um above the light source

Could anyone provide insights or guidance on how to improve my simulation?

Thank you.

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'

Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...

Thread 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
