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.

It is not known for me if the device is a simple straight waveguide with a nano paritcle on it, or a MMI component with the nanoparticle?

if it is the former, please significnatly reduce the simulation length, with only about one wavelength, move the source and monitor close to the nanoparticle, with long simulation time and smaller autoshutoff min.

also make sure the PML is about hald wavelength thick to effetively absorb the EM eergy. From the scrrensot it seems PML is thin.
