 I am using MoS2 and WS2 vertical heterojunction for my simulation. I am using TSFS source. I took refractive index from

Refractiveindex.info. As my both layers are 6nm thick I am using refractive index as below

WS2
  Vyshnevyy et al. 2023: n,k(o) 0.36–1.70 µm Vyshnevyy et al. 2023: n,k(e) 0.36–1.70 µm   Jung et al. 2019: monolayer film; n,k 0.38–0.89 µm Ermolaev et al. 2020: monolayer film; n,k 0.365–1.70 µm Hsu et al. 2019: monolayer (1L) film; n,k 0.40–0.85 µm Hsu et al. 2019: 2-layer (2L) film; n,k 0.40–0.85 µm Hsu et al. 2019: 3-layer (3L) film; n,k 0.40–0.85 µm   Munkhbat et al. 2022: multilayer flakes; n(o),k 0.30–1.69 µm Munkhbat et al. 2022: multilayer flakes; n(e) 0.30–1.69 µm

. After simulating I am getting almost zero power at around 600nm wavelength. (Picture attached). I am using two  generation rate window for the simulation. I also tried using one generation rate window at a time by deactivating one layer weather MoS2 or WS2. Am I doing something wrong? Could you please give suggestions to improve.

Hi Mosfequl,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Are you importing the data on the material explorer? Have you checked wether the fitting is acceptable? For example:

Please note that this is the optics forum and not the photonics where lumerical related question are posted. For you next lumerical question please post at: Ansys photonics forum

Kind Regards,

Niki
