| If we need a plane wave to interact with our computation volume, we are no more able to use a set of point sources (unless we have extremely large computational volume which is unrealistic. Special techniques need to be used, for example one known as total/scattered field or scattered field. Both approaches are based on addition and eventually subtraction of precomputed plane wave to/from some points in the computational volume. | If we need a plane wave to interact with our computation volume, we are no more able to use a set of point sources (unless we have extremely large computational volume which is unrealistic.

| In total/scattered field (TSF) technique we draw a boundary around the area where we need the plane wave and we add the plane wave on one side and subtract it on other side (depending on wave traveling direction). There can be anything inside TSF volume as there are no special algorithms run there. | In total/scattered field (TSF) technique we draw a boundary around the area where we need the plane wave and we add the plane wave on one side and subtract it on other side (depending on wave traveling direction).

| + | To get a focused source we can use plane waves summation method as published in Ref. [1]. This is based on decomposition of the ideal focused beam onto a set of plane wave with appropriate angles and phases. | ||

| + | Layered source is a special source conditions suitable for materials with infinitely extending layers (e.g. thin films) as published in Ref. [2]. In our implementation the layers have to be laterally oriented in xy direction, so they have normal in z direction. The material can be formed by N layers in z-direction (in present implementation only dielectric and non-absorbing). Incident wave however can cross the sample at angle as well. | ||

| + | Finally, some of the sources can be also altered after they are set, e.g. to change the source profile. | ||
| + | This is the case of LTSF and TSF (in z direction) where we can multiply the plane wave entering the computational domain by a Gaussian to get a slightly diverging Gaussian beam. | ||
