Hello,

I want to design one material which permitivity(as a function of frequency) as well as ch2 property (not diagonal d33,d21,d22,d15 which depends on frequency) in lumerical FDTD( iam using 2024R2)  all data i want to give in one material how i will give? and i could not able to import material  data set also.

Here i wrote in MATLAB code, which i want to design..

Thank you.

Unfortunately right now FDTD cannot simulate non-3*3 diagonal tensor nonlinear material.

for frequency dependent nonlinear material, currently only  two

Chi3 Raman Kerr

Magnetic Electric Lorentz

can be dispersive.

For permittivity, you can simulate full 3*3 tensor with matrix tranformation: Creating anisotropic optical materials in FDTD and MODE

If you want to simulate broadband, you will need to make sure that the unitary matrix does not depend on frequency.
