Application notes and examples of use

Here you can find some typical examples of how to use GSvit for particular tasks and/or benchmarks. The selection is based only on what we have needed practically so far, therefore many typical FDTD tasks are still missing and will be added in future. Moreover, also the examples itself are still in development, namely their quantitative comparison to analytical data. All this is being continuously updated.

For some of the problems shown there are also GUI (XSvit) setup examples including sample parameter files, so you can setup something similar with help of them.

Transmission grating: periodic boundary conditions and near-to-far field transform used to compute ideal transmission grating characteristics.

Reflection grating simulation based on AFM data: combination of atomic force microscope data, periodic boundary conditions and near-to-far field transform used to compute realistic reflection grating characteristics.

Rough surface scattering: evaluation of far-field scattering from rough surface measured using atomic force microscopy.

Thin film absorption: calculation of local absorption in homogeneous and microstructured thin film.

Optical force: electromagnetic field force acting on a particle.

Tetrahedral mesh: possibilities of loading virtually any data are demonstrated by showing a cow detected by radar.
