Adds a plane wave source to the simulation environment.

For FDTD and MODE

Example

The following script command will add a plane wave source in the simulation environment that will propagate in the negative z direction.  The script will set the dimension (and position) of the source and will define the frequency range.

addplane;
set("injection axis","z");
set("direction","backward");
set("x",0);
set("x span",2e-6);
set("y",0);
set("y span",5e-6);
set("z",3e-6);
set("wavelength start",0.3e-6);
set("wavelength stop",1.2e-6);

For DGTD:

Adds a plane wave source to the 'DGTD' solver in Finite Element IDE.  A DGTD solver region must be present in the objects tree for this command to work.

Example 1

The following script commands will add a plane wave source to the 'DGTD' solver already present in the objects tree and print the name of all of its properties.

addplane;?set;

Example 2

The following script commands will add a plane wave source to the 'DGTD' solver, change its name, and set up its properties.  The script then sets the solid named "2D rectangle" as the injection surface.

addplane; 
set("name","plane_wave");# set the propagation directionset("direction definition","axis");set("direction","backward");set("angle theta",30);set("angle phi",60);
# set the polarization angleset("polarization angle",90);
# set the injection surfaceset("surface type","solid");set("solid","2D rectangle");
