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.

This method is working fine but I have a couple of doubts: 1) is the overlap function always using normalsed version of the mode? In case of two mode overlap from MODE the modes both are normalised with field maximum being 1 whereas, if I import the second mode as d-card from the FDTD monitor, this second mode is not normalised to have filed maximum being 1 but I seems function is still giving reasonable results. 2) I tried to free space waveguide1 mode from facet in FDTD and overlap with waveguide2 facet in FDE (as I stated in the previous post), I replicated the same swapping the two waveguides and the results are slightly different, though I would expect the process to be symmetrical. Is this expected for some other reason?
