A problem of "GetAmplitudes"

[KappaGO]

Hi! I want to use "GetAmplitudes" for calculating reflection phase, but it can not work. The error is "GetAmplitudes: S4_Layer named 'Above1' not found." I am confused about this issue and look forward to your help. The code is attached below.

filename1='GetAmplitudes.csv'; file1=io.output(filename1)

--Parameter------------------------------------- um=1; nm=um1e-3; p=568nm; tg1=0.8p; lambda=1550nm;

S=S4.NewSimulation() S:SetLattice({p,0},{0,0}) S:SetNumG(100) S:AddMaterial("Vacuum",{1,0}) S:AddMaterial("Si",{3.483.48,0}) S:AddLayer('Above1',0,'Vacuum') S:AddLayer('Slab1',tg1,'Vacuum') S:SetLayerPatternRectangle('Slab1', "Si", {0,0}, 0, {0.29p,0}) S:AddLayer('Below1',0,'Vacuum') S:SetExcitationPlanewave({80,0},{0,0},{1,0}) S:SetFrequency(1/lambda)

--Reflection-------------------------------

forw,back = S:GetAmplitudes('Above1',0) file1:write(forw[1][1],",",forw[1][2],",",back[1][1],",",back[1][2],",") file1:write("\n") file1:close()

I also have this issue. I guess 'GetAmplitudes' method is obsolete or broken?

It seems to be working after making this change.

I did this change, but only GetAmplitudes only works por s-pol. Is the same for you?
