\section{Energy conservation in one dimension}

In this example, we compute the total energy over time for a polaritonic
material in one dimension to verify that it is indeed conserved.  This also
demonstrates how to use a 1D system.

For our example polaritonic material, we'll use an $\epsilon(0)$ of 13.4.
We will put the polaritons in just one quarter of our system to add a
little extra excitement.

\begin{verbatim}
double eps(const vec &) { return 13.4; }
double one(const vec &p) { return (p.z() > 15.0)?1:0; }
\end{verbatim}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  initialize mpi(argc, argv);
  deal_with_ctrl_c();
  const double ttot = 600.0;
\end{comment}
We create a 1D system by making the volume with the ``\verb!volone!''
function, and making sure any vecs we use are one dimensional.
\begin{verbatim}
  structure s(volone(20.0, a), eps);
\end{verbatim}
\begin{comment}
  const char *dirname = make_output_directory(__FILE__);
  s.set_output_directory(dirname);
\end{comment}
The polarizability is added as usual... in this case we use a very sharp
resonance, which means that our energy will only be very slowly absorbed.
\begin{verbatim}
  s.add_polarizability(one, 0.25, 0.0001, 3.0);
  fields f(&s);
  grace g("energy", dirname);
\end{verbatim}
We use several point sources, to cover a broad frequency range, just for
the heck of it.
\begin{verbatim}
  f.add_point_source(Ex, 0.6 , 1.8, 0.0, 8.0, vec(2.0));
  f.add_point_source(Ex, 0.4 , 1.8, 0.0, 8.0, vec(2.0));
  f.add_point_source(Ex, 0.33, 1.8, 0.0, 8.0, vec(2.0));
\end{verbatim}
\begin{comment}
  const double ezero = f.total_energy();
  double next_printtime = 10;
  while (f.time() < ttot && !interrupt) {
    if (f.time() >= next_printtime) {
      next_printtime += 10;
      master_printf("Working on time %g...  ", f.time());
      master_printf("energy is %g\n", f.total_energy() - ezero);
      master_printf("thermo energy is %g\n", f.thermo_energy_in_box(f.v.surroundings()) - ezero);
\end{comment}
We plot the total energy, the electromagnetic energy and the
``thermodynamic energy'' which is the energy that is either stored in the
polarization, or has been converted into heat, or (if we had a saturating
gain system) perhaps is stored in a population inversion.
\begin{verbatim}
      g.output_out_of_order(0, f.time(), f.total_energy() - ezero);
      g.output_out_of_order(1, f.time(),
                            f.electric_energy_in_box(f.v.surroundings())
                          + f.magnetic_energy_in_box(f.v.surroundings()));
      g.output_out_of_order(2, f.time(),
                            f.thermo_energy_in_box(f.v.surroundings()) - ezero);
\end{verbatim}
