how to excite transverse and longitudinal mode for a nanorod in a single simulation?
Dear,
Two basic question
1. how to excite transverse and longitudinal mode for a nanorod in a single simulation?
2. what will happen if I will select the un-polarized light option? is it equivalent to 50% x-polarized and 50% y-polarized light?? in our lab experiments we are going to use un-polarized source of light, so i believe this is a right choose to simulation, what do you think?
regards
Shahid

You are exactly correct, it will average the two orthogonal polarizations if you select unpolarized. This is an approximation for totally unpolarized light, to get a more accurate answer you could run a whole series of polarizations rotated by a small amount and average.
