optics{ global_reflectivity{ } }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{ForestGreen}{optional\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • items: \(\mathrm{maximum\;1}\)

This group defines the reflectance spectrum \(R(\lambda)\) of the modelled device for the light entering the system.

Important

The following general conditions must be satisfied when defining optics{ global_reflectivity{ } }



Maintained Keywords

The keywords below are available in at least one of currently published releases and are planned to be included also in the next release.


database_spectrum{ }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{ForestGreen}{optional\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • items: \(\mathrm{maximum\;1}\)

Importing the spectrum from the database or external files.


database_spectrum{ name }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{required\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • type: \(\mathrm{character\;string}\)

Name of the spectrum contained in the database.


import_spectrum{ }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{ForestGreen}{optional\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • items: \(\mathrm{maximum\;1}\)

Importing spectrum from a file

Important

The following general conditions must be satisfied when defining import_spectrum{ }

  • The global group import{ } is specified in the input file.


import_spectrum{ import_from }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{required\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • type: \(\mathrm{character\;string}\)

Path to a spectrum for importing


import_spectrum{ cutoff }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{required\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)

  • choices: yes; no

If set to yes, then the values of the spectrum which are outside the definition interval are set to zero. Otherwise, the spectrum is extrapolated as a constant with the value on the boundary of the imported data.


import_spectrum{ energy_spectrum }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{ForestGreen}{optional\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)

  • choices: yes; no

  • default: no

If set to yes, then the imported spectrum is assumed to be given as a function of energy. Otherwise, the spectrum is assumed to be given as a function of wavelength.


constant_spectrum{ }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{ForestGreen}{optional\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • items: \(\mathrm{maximum\;1}\)

Specify a constant reflectance spectrum \(R(\lambda) = \mathrm{const}\)


constant_spectrum{ reflectivity }

  • using: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{required\;within\;the\;scope}}\)

  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • values: (0.0, 1.0]

  • unit: \(\mathrm{-}\)

  • default: 1.0

The constant value of the reflectivity

Examples

global_reflectivity{
    database_spectrum{
        name = "Al0.80Ga0.20As"
    }
import_spectrum{
    import_from = "filename"
    cutoff = yes  # yes/no: If yes, set values outside definition interval to zero.
                # (default=?)
}
constant_spectrum{
    reflectivity = 0.5  # real value >= 0.0 and <= 1.0 (dimensionless)
}
