We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Duru,

Thank you for your screenshot, this was actually very helpful. I think you are using the FDE solver built in FDTD and the reason that you are not seeing losses in this case is because you are calculating a cross section of your waveguide, while in Interconnect you are measuring the losses of your whole waveguide. Now, for your additional questions, allow me a couple of days to work on them and I will come back.
