Reply To: Blackbody Radiation

[Dev]

 

Hello, 

In Lumerical FDTD and MODE solvers, a black-body radiation source is not directly available as a built-in source type. However, my suggestion is you can approximate black-body radiation using a broadband source like a plane wave or dipole source. From my understanding, you might have to create a custom spectrum file(spectral radiance profile), you can multiply that with source's intensity. 

If you want a feature to be developed, please file it here : Ideas (lumerical.com)

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
