We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello Jeff,

It’s definitely possible to achieve, but the setup details will depend on whether you want to eliminate the non-diffracted light or not, as both options can be valid.
To speed up your progress, I suggest browsing through the Scattering - list of examples on our website.
Also you might want to start with the following resources, as they could have some relevant discussions:
- DVD surface scattering (DGTD)
- Bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF)
- Photonic crystal cavity
- Far field projections from a box of monitors

Best regards,
Kirill
