SYNOPSIS

   use Photonic::LE::NP::EpsL;
   my $eps=Photonic::LE::NP::EpsL->new(nr=>$nr, nh=>$nh);
   my $epsilonLongitudinal=$eps->evaluate($epsA, $epsB);

DESCRIPTION

Calculates the macroscopic longitudinal dielectric function for a given fixed Photonic::LE::NP::AllH structure as a function of the dielectric functions of the components.

METHODS

  • new(nr=>$nr, nh=>$nh, smallE=>$smallE)

    Initializes the structure.

    $nr is a Photonic::LE::NP::AllH structure (required).

    $nh is the maximum number of Haydock coefficients to use (required).

    $smallE is the criteria of convergence for the continued fraction and determines the precision of the results. It defaults to 1e-7.

ACCESORS (read only)

  • epsL

    The longitudinal macroscopic function.

  • nr

    The LE::NP::AllH structure

  • nh

    The maximum number of Haydock coefficients to use.

  • nhActual

    The actual number of Haydock coefficients used in the last calculation

  • converged

    Flags that the last calculation converged before using up all coefficients

  • smallE

    Criteria of convergence for continued fraction. 0 means don't check.
