Hi,
I am not simulating them separately, but I simulate circular polarization with two linear polarized sources, as you suggested.
The point is that the nonlinear optical processes with circularly polarized incident light are different from those due to linearly polarized light, and because of the nonlinearity, the former cannot be obtained from the latter or vice versa by a simple superposition process.
But when you say that the easy and standard way is to set the circular polarization with two linear polarized sources, I am wondering if Ansys calculates the nonlinear optical process with a simple process of superposition because it would be wrong.
What is your opinion? How does Ansys work in this case?
