Range: | [v_1, …], v=ElectricSymmetric|MagneticSymmetric |
Default: | -/- |
Appearance: | optional |
In this presence of mirror symmetries it is required to specify the field behavior of the symmetric resonance mode across any mirror planes. A mirror plane is characterized by its normal vector . For type ElectricSymmetric
the electric field is polarized within the mirror plane and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the mirror plane:
For type MagneticSymmetric
we have
For multiple mirror planes you must specify all individual mirror symmetry types in a vector. Thereby, the mirror planes (maximum three planes) are ordered by the following convention: A mirror plane with normal comes before another mirror plane with normal

The mirror planes together with their normals and ordering are shown within JCMsuite
