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.

When there are other materials with loss/absorption, different monitor size may cover different materials so the absorption calculated will be different. In your case, Please make sure that the monitor only covers the region where the absorbed light power can be converted into e-h carriers.


I would suggest to set larger monitor size along the periodic BCs, eg, extend it to the outside of the BCs.
