The Set_pol Component

(Unphysical) way of setting the polarization.

Identification

• Author: Peter Christiansen
• Origin: Risoe
• Date: August 2006
• Version: 1.1

Description

This component has no physical size (like Arm - also drawn that
way), but is used to set the polarisation in one of two ways:
1) (randomOn=0) Hardcode the polarisation to the vector (px, py, pz)
2) (randomOn!=0) Set the polarisation to a random vector on the unit sphere

Example: Set_pol(px=0, py=-1, pz=0)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
px	1	X-component of polarisation vector (can be negative)	0
py	1	Y-component of polarisation vector (can be negative)	0
pz	1	Z-component of polarisation vector (can be negative)	0
randomOn	1	Generate random values if randomOn!=0.	0
