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.

FOM (Figure of Merit) can only be a scalar, one value from the built-in particle swam optimization. eigen vector is a not  a scale factor. So you will need to manuliplate the eigenvector to form a FOM.

For more than one FOM value, other third tools may have multi-targets algorithms that you might use. Currently Lumerical can use Matlab and Python. You may explore them.
