How to create a Gaussin beam in time-harmonic mode

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, COMSOL players,

I am now working on COMSOL RF module to create a Gaussian beam.
In the tutorial model "Second harmonic generation of a Gaussian beam", we learned how to create a Gaussian beam in time-transient mode.

My question is how to create a Gaussian beam in time-hrmonic mode? Can we create a Gaussian beam along oblique direction?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jie, did you figure this thing out?
I am having the same problem - I would like to setup an oblique incident Gaussian beam. The only way that I can think of now is to rotate the simulation domain to achieve the same effect of having an oblique Gaussian beam. I am sure by doing some algebra it would be possible to rotate the Gaussian beam but I have not worked it out.
Thanks,
