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.

Let me summarize your suggestion and let me know whether there is any misunderstanding:

Step A: check the divergence's reason

take only half of the simulation region + Use thicker PML in X min/max = 64 + only take override mesh on single Z dimension (the thin layer dominates my mode) + add monitors to check the scattered light

Q1: after checking and back to final simulation, I still need to recover the override mesh back to the X/Y direction so that an integer number of grids is placed in the coupling gap, correct?

Q2: where should I place those monitors? At corresponding boundary?

Step B: Recover the simulated region and set PML accordingly and run again.
