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 Mu Si,

I suppose these are from FDTD. When you inject the mode, can you visualize that the correct mode is being injected? I will also recommend making sure that the source and monitors are lambda/2 disatnce away from the PML Boundaries. There are a lot of parameters in FDTD that can affect simulation results.You may have to perform convergence testing. I will recommend you to look at this article and consider performing the tests: Convergence testing process for FDTD simulations.
