We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Apart from that, my platform has highest index component of 2.21 @ 1.55 um, the effective index of the mode is about 1.8. According to your calculation, the mesh size should be 1.55/1.8  / 6 = 0.1435um (6 splitting points per wavelength) or 1.55/1.8 / 10 = 0.086um. Actually, I also tried with dx, dy, dz = (0.1, 0.1, 0.02) um before and it still diverged with PML layer=16 after auto-shutoff reaching 0.0025. What else do you think I need to optimize for convergence?
