Reply To: Difference in accuracy between RCWA and FDTD

[handon]

Thanks for your kind reply.

 

First, I set a result from PVlighthouse's calculator (OPAL2) as a reference. And the trend is similar between the reference and my FDTD results.

So I can be confident with my FDTD results.

The problem is the RCWA results. It's quite different from the reference and FDTD results.

I found the index results and material fitting are okay.

Why do the current RCWA results differ from FDTD?

Also, I checked the link so that you can download my files.
