Best Way to Incident Electric Field

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm currently working on modeling a 2D gradient index metamaterial lens and studying the electric field intensity inside it. My geometry consists of vertical alternating layers of two different materials (Ag and Alumina) and I have to incident a plane wave from the top of the resulting rectangle and study the x-component of the resultant electric field intensity inside the lens. I've used port excitation, surface current, initial electric field at the upper boundary (which is also surrounded by a PML) but I can't seem to get my results. I'm 100% sure my geometry and physics are correct, so this definitely has something to do with my physics. Can anyone help me out with this? :)

You may want to try calculation of scattered field, where you can specify incident wave by expression input.
