emFieldXyz: E-field units #52

Open GlebFedorovich opened 1 year ago

GlebFedorovich commented 1 year ago

Dear Dr. Lenton,

I have a small question regarding the units for E-field plotted via emFieldXyz method. I couldn't find the info about the units for electric field, so, I wonder whether emFieldXyz returns fields in SI (i.e., V/m for E-field), or they somehow inherit the normalization from beam.power = 1 (as was suggested in the documentation). So, should I convert the obtained fields by hands? I found how to convert forces from normalized units to SI, but the same trick with E-field is not so clear for me.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Gleb Fedorovich
