Detector coupling

Add a detector to a PyMieSim.Simulation when the quantity of interest is collected or coupled power rather than only a scatterer property.

from PyMieSim import (
    Gaussian,
    Photodiode,
    PolarizationState,
    Simulation,
    Sphere,
    ureg,
)

source = Gaussian(
    wavelength=1000 * ureg.nanometer,
    polarization=PolarizationState(angle=30 * ureg.degree),
    optical_power=1 * ureg.watt,
    numerical_aperture=0.3,
)

detector = Photodiode(
    sampling=500,
    numerical_aperture=0.2,
    phi_offset=0 * ureg.degree,
    gamma_offset=0 * ureg.degree,
    medium=1.0,
)

simulation = Simulation(
    scatterer=Sphere(
        diameter=300 * ureg.nanometer,
        material=1.5,
        medium=1.0,
    ),
    source=source,
    detector=detector,
)

coupling = simulation.run("coupling")
print(coupling)

For angularly varying detector parameters, use PhotodiodeSet and Experiment. See the coupling examples and experiment gallery.
