Reply To: Total-Field Scattered-Field (TFSF) Source with Gaussian Beam?

Hello Jeff,

It’s definitely possible to achieve, but the setup details will depend on whether you want to eliminate the non-diffracted light or not, as both options can be valid.
To speed up your progress, I suggest browsing through the Scattering - list of examples on our website.
Also you might want to start with the following resources, as they could have some relevant discussions:
- DVD surface scattering (DGTD)
- Bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF)
- Photonic crystal cavity
- Far field projections from a box of monitors

Best regards,
Kirill
