Objects Mixture Simulation Parameters <Prev Next>

Polarization

These are added under the Simulation object as required, and describe the relative orientation of any static fields with respect to the absorbed or emitted radiation. As many of these as required can be added; if none are present random polarization is assumed

Settings

Rank Rank of field - 1 for a normal single photon transition.
Direction Select the polarization of the light, and thus the M selection rules. Possible values are:
  • Random - ΔM = 0, ±1
  • Parallel - ΔM = 0
  • Perpendicular - ΔM = ±1
  • Circular - ΔM = +1

Parameters

Strength Relative strength of field - note that the relative intensity is proportional to the square of this value.
