Hi everyone, I am trying to simulate the penetration depth of light into gold. From previous discussion I know that to do this, resolution in the order of lambda/1000 is needed. As the limitation of my computer, however, I cannot use such a high resolution. So I tried to calculate the flux in the depth of 0.25*lambda which is much deeper than the penetration depth of gold, and the result I got is around 0.001 times of the flux on the surface, but the result I expected to get should be much smaller than that.
Is it possible to calculate the flux in such a deep depth with inadequate resolution? Or the inaccuracy of the calculation overcomes the flux in such a deep depth? Thanks a lot! Best regards, Yang Xiang
