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 Amrita,

Here's the transmission box. It looks the same as the one from dipolepower (and the transmission box I have placed arroud the entire photonic crystal instead of only arround the source). 

 

An additional note which could be important, I remember in a simulation where I used standard boundary condition with 8 PML layer, my simulations diverged, which I think could've been due to PML reflections (in movie I saw fields appearing after a long time as leakage probably from the PML). Could this be playing a role since my simulation region is narrow and/or my absorption in PML is not high enough (value same as stabilized)?
