Hi,

I have a set of numerically calculated complex dielectric functions which I want to import to FDTD to simulate the optical response of a plasmonic nanoparticle. The set of dielectric functions vary by a very small amount - the difference between them is around 10^-3, and varies for different wavelengths. I tried to use "3D Sample Data" to import the dielectric functions, and I noticed that when importing these dielectric functions to FDTD they get "smoothed-out", and the small difference between the set of dielectric functions is corrupted. How can I avoid this "smoothing"?

 

Thanks!

Uri

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using Lumerical FDTD.

 

Thanks
