Hello, 

 

I really appreciate it if someone can help me to double check the following equation by running my sheet in their Mathcad. I attached my sheet.

This time, I use different formula from my previous post here.

 

In the mean time, I am writing matlab code to double check as well.

 

I run my sheet, it took so much time with my pc and at the end it show error.

The formula to compute:

And YES, there are ways to speed it up.

This is the time to calculate 6 points on my pc:

If you notice that the integrand function to dTheta is symmetric around pi/2, we can omit half of the integration:

Down from 203 to 92 seconds.

 

Success!

@terryhendicott
hi...thank you.
could you run it once again from w: 20-70 nm?
The motivation is to see the w around lambda and thickness h.

I tried in my pc from w: 25 - 50 nm. it still takes long time.
is there tips to speed up the calculation? 

I use ORIGIN=0,  TOL=10^-3, CTOL=10^-3

@LucMeekes
Hi..yes, the integral notation confused me.
But after reading the very original paper, which use such a notation, nested integration is my conclusion.
In your sheet, your third term uses +, it should be -.
You might got that from the paper, which shows double minus sign.
Thank again for your help.

Assuming that weird integral notation actually is intended to mean the nested integrals below:...

Success!

P.S. It also means that the expression in your other thread was actually meant to be a nested integral, rather than a product of integration results. That other expression easily runs into overflows when trying to (numerically) integrate. No symbolic solution was found.
