We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

The time dependent refractive index can be found here  https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034394734-Advanced-and-custom-optical-material-models-in-FDTD-and-MODE

Since plugin material is advanced feature, we provide very limited technical support.

However, since it changed with time, you will need to use time monitor and complex source field:

to get real and imaginery parts of the fields in order to get phase information. Frequency-domain monitor can only give steady-state CW phase.
