Dear Subscriber,

FDTD is a time-domain method, allowing you to obtain broadband results from a single simulation. The article Changing the source bandwidth in FDTD and MODE briefly describes this. By default, the monitors inherit the bandwidth from the source, but you can modify this if needed.

I recommend checking the following resources:
1. FDTD product reference manual
2. Photonics Learning Tracks, especially Ansys Lumerical FDTD.
3. On the Ansys Optics page, there is a section called Application Gallery, where you can search for relevant examples.

Best regards,
Kirill
