This skill should be used when users need the MaxwellLink single-mode cavity solver for fast prototyping and regression, in either socket or embedded mode.
SKILL.md
Single-mode cavity workflows (MaxwellLink)
Use for fast prototyping
Use mxl.SingleModeSimulation when a 1-mode cavity surrogate is sufficient and Meep is too heavy.
Configure
Set dt_au, frequency_au, damping_au, coupling_strength, and coupling_axis.
Optional physics knobs used in strong-coupling workflows: include_dse.
Drive routing knobs: excite_ph (default True) sends the drive term to the cavity EOM; excite_mol (default False) adds the drive term to the effective electric field acting on the molecules along coupling_axis. Enabling both at once is allowed but emits a warning.
Thermal knobs: temperature_au (a.u., default 0.0) sets the thermal scale. Add initializer="maxwell_boltzmann" to seed initial qc/pc from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, overriding any user-provided qc_initial/pc_initial. Add langevin_tau_au (Langevin relaxation time, a.u.) to thermostat the cavity momentum every step; leave langevin_tau_au=None for NVE dynamics. Use random_seed for reproducible sampling/kicks.
Attach molecules in embedded or socket mode (same Molecule interface as elsewhere).
