Dear Steven and Meep users, I wanna simulate the transmission of a nonlinear periodic geometry. However, I still have several questions after reading the meep-discuss archives. My questions are as follows:
1. In the Meep Manual, Steven suggested that we should monitor the power going through the linear system, then change the current amplitude to get the expected power. However, there are two kinds of power, which are the time instant power and time-average power. Which power should I monitor? If I use time-average power, I have to use the complex-valued fields, which are problematic for nonlinear systems. 2. How can I get a nonlinear transmission curves? I think we can not obtain them as in the linear system by Fourier transform, because the amplitude of the Gaussian pulse is different in different frequencies. Therefore, we should use plane wave with same power, and do many simulations for different frequencies. Is that right? In this case, should the plane wave be on in all the simulated time? Are there other methods or similar ctl files to simulate the nonlinear transmission curves? Thanks a lot. Any comments will be appreciated.
