Every software package contains a full set of examples suitable for that version and are installed with the software. If you see examples here that are not in your installation you should consider updating to a later version of the software. These examples can be used by beginners and advanced users for product evaluation, teaching purposes, and self-training.

Required Modules

Victory Device

• 2D Simulator
• 2D Optical

This example demonstrates:
How to define an optical source that has a gaussion optical intensity

Application of the periodic boundary condition for light sources

The deck describes the beam properties.

In Victory Device, by default, an unspecified boundary condition for device simulation is assumed mirror or periodic. However, for ray tracing by default the edges of the device are considered interfaces with a vacuum, and therefore reflections are calculated along these boundaries. In some cases, it is useful to be able to specify the edges to be periodic in regard to ray tracing as well. This is particularly true when the beam is not normal to the plane.

This example runs two simulations; the first with the default boundary conditions for ray tracing, and the second with periodic boundary conditions for the rays. The periodic boundary conditions are chosen by the periodic parameter of the BEAM statement.
