Which product you are using? FDE? Could you elaborate more how do you select the forward and backward direction in FDE?

If it is from 3D FDTD, you can change the source injection direction. But I tested this online case and the result is the same, since it uses bandstructure method regardless the source injection direction: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042038613-Bandstructure-of-a-magneto-optical-waveguide
