Time permittivity monitor #1645
Comments
I am not sure this makes sense in general. Maybe for some type of nonlinearities? But generally permittivity is chi-1, and nonlinearities are higher-order-chi-s. I guess when there is no frequency mixing, an effective epsilon can be written, which is maybe what you have in mind? |
I'm mainly thinking about checking how a nonlinear material's permittivity would be different at different times |
Maybe one way to do this while still being rigorous could be to consider a method that returns the polarization of a medium as a function of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_optics class Medium(...):
def polarization(field_data: FieldData | FieldTimeData) -> FieldData | FieldTimeData:
"""Compute polarization density of this medium when an electric field is present."""
# compute all chi terms
# construct field data with the polarization? Then the user could add a |
A permittivity monitor, just in the time domain instead of frequency domain. This should be useful now that our nonlinear capabilities are what they are.
