However, the photonic crystal will have self reflectance. The Lumerical guide (&#8220;Understanding dipoles in non-homogeneous materials&#8221;) only addresses metal boundaries and suggests using mirror sources, but in my case, I&#8217;m not sure if this applies. So how can I calculate the dipolepower in a selfreflecting structure such as a photonic crystal?<\/p>\n<p>model:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/24-01-2024-1706093149-mceclip0.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-346327","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["296963","33648"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.154"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["483"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["346327"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["33648","296963"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["346803"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["346803"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-01-26 16:10:34"]},"test":"j-lopez-leyvastudent-tue-nl"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/346327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/346327\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
