Photodiode Detector
===================

This example demonstrates the initialization and visualization of a Photodiode detector using PyMieSim.

Initializing the detector

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 15-24

.. code-block:: Python

    detector = Photodiode(
        NA=0.3 * AU,  # Numerical Aperture
        cache_NA=0.2 * AU,
        sampling=500 * AU,  # Number of sampling points
        gamma_offset=0 * degree,  # Gamma offset in degrees
        phi_offset=0 * degree,  # Phi offset in degrees
        polarization_filter=None  # No polarization filter applied
