Port in wave optics module

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I'm interested in studying light passing through rings on a metal plate, but I'm having trouble in expressing the incident E-field. When I defined the background E field in Electromagnetic wave, frequency domain, it seems that a wavy pattern appears at the outer boundary of the system.. I think there should be no E-fields if there's no rings on the metal plate, but there is.

What I have found studied is that I can use "port" boundary condition to express the incident light. I designated the bottom boundary as the port (on) and was able to E-field going through the ring. However, it this case, I don't know how to make linearly polarized plane wave. I used user-defined E (exp(-jewfd.k0z, 0, 0) for (x, y, z) of the electric mode field, but it seems that it has higher intensity at the center. Also, when I plotted Ex, the map of Ex looks not uniform when there's no object.

Can anyone please give me a hint about it?

Thank you in advance!! Best, Suhun
