Angle of incidence in Wave optics module

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I usually work on Wave optic module in COMSOL, the issue I have been facing is the to incident an electromagnetic wave at a certain angle.
Is it possible to set the electromagnetic wave at a particular angle of incidence. For an example I want the wave to be incident at 65 deg, how can this be achieved.

I will be highly obliged for your kind suggestions and help.

Thank you!!

Hi

Define theta and phi in parameters.
in variables: put kx= ko*sin(theta)*cos(phi)
kx= ko*sin(theta)*sin(phi)
kz=kocos(theta).

cheers
