BlochVector

Type:Vector<complex>
Range:[v_1, …, v_2]
Default:[0.0, 0.0]
Appearance:simple
Excludes:AxisPositionX, Twist

Sets Bloch-vector \pvec{k}_{\mathrm{B}} as needed to specify the cross-section Bloch-periodicity when the waveguide cross-section is periodic. For the discussion of periodic boundary conditions see here in the section Electromagnetics.

In case of a slab waveguide problem with a one-dimensional grid file grid.jcm, the second entry k_y in \pvec{k}_{\mathrm{B}} is ignored.
