 Using FDTD we can simulate the performance of different probes manufactured for infrared SNOM measurements. Using FDTD we can simulate the performance of different probes manufactured for infrared SNOM measurements.
  
-/TODOupdate ​this and add the last datasets/+First aspect to handle if we want to work in mid-infrared are the optical parameters.  
 +Using databases as [[http://​refractiveindex.info|Refractiveindex.INFO]] we can get the right values of the optical constants for wide range of wavelengths. If we want to use the dispersive metal models, like those discussed in [[fdtd:materials|Media]] section, we need to adapt also their parameters. Below we can see and example of how the literature parameters fitted for 400-800 nm wavelength range might deviate from experimental data if we are in infrared region.

 +The solution is to fit a suitable dielectic function model to the database data and use this in the calculation. For metals in infrared a Drude model is typically recommended. This can be handled via the PLRC and ADE algorithm, for example by setting ​the strength of critical points to zero in any of the Drude+CP algorithms. The dielectric function fitted to a particular wavelength range, here around 10 microns, looks already much better:
