Diffraction Order
Add the Diffraction Order subnode to the Grating feature. Each Diffraction Order subnode can either release transmitted rays, reflected rays, or both transmitted and reflected rays of the specified order, depending on the option selected from the Rays to release list in the parent Grating node.
Device Properties
Enter a Diffraction order m (dimensionless). The default is 0 for the first Diffraction Order added. When more diffraction orders are added to the model, the new default is the highest diffraction order currently present, plus 1.
When the ray intensity or power is solved for, enter the Reflectance R and the Transmittance T (both dimensionless). If the reflectance or transmittance of a certain diffraction order is exactly zero, that diffraction order will not be released.
Auxiliary Dependent Variables, Refracted Ray
This section is available if an Auxiliary Dependent Variable has been added to the model. The settings are the same as for the Material Discontinuity feature.
Auxiliary Dependent Variables, Reflected Ray
This section is available if an Auxiliary Dependent Variable has been added to the model. The settings are the same as for the Material Discontinuity feature.
