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 is an interesting topic. I tend to believe that the shift is due to the RCWA converging accuracy. It fluctuates around the theoretical result. For FDTD, it has numerical dispersion error (and other numerical errors such as PML and source injection etc). So it is hard to say where the theoretical location is before you do converging test.

For RCWA converging testing, it might not be monotonic when you only change one parameter to certain point.Â
