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.

Ansys Learning Forum Forums Discuss Simulation Photonics can I use 2 sources together? Reply To: can I use 2 sources together?

if you provide mode details such as device configuration and results you want, maybe I can give you more suggestions.

In theory, you can use more than one source. However please note that they will be coherent. 

If they have different bandspectrum, you may only get accurate result without normalization, or use time domain signal.

If it is nonlinear, you can use two or more sources, please refer to https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042192953-Pump-probe-simulation-using-4-level-2-electron-material

Transmission is the ratio of transmitted power over injection power, so it is unitless.

Power will be in Watt.
