What does the y-axis mean when we transform the meaning of the x-axis from frequency to lambda in the (Harmonic generation with a chi2 material) example?

We want to check how much it is transmitted compared to the incident light. What does the y-axis of the data that can be observed on the time monitor mean?

Dear Subscriber,

Based on your screenshot, you are viewing the magnitude of the electric field vs wavelength. This information can be useful for identifying resonances and their spectral positions.
The method for analyzing transmission in nonlinear simulations is described in the article Nonlinear and gain methodology.

Best regards,
Kirill
