RCWA results not change with frequency range

      I am collecting the reflection spectrum of this structure below. However, as changing frequencies from 0-1 a/c to 0.4-0.9 a/c, the results remained. This is really suspicious for the computation.

      The result I obtained is:

      Hello Thanh,

       

      I agree that the results don’t appear to be correct. Here are a few debugging steps that might help:

      1. Verify if you obtain the same results when using the built-in monitor visualizer within the Lumerical IDE.
      2. Ensure your simulation setup aligns with the recommendations in the RCWA Product Reference Manual.
      3. Begin by testing simpler structures with well-understood behavior, such as a planar interface or basic gratings. Check if you can reproduce results from RCWA solver application examples, like the Photonic Crystal Slab (RCWA) or Surface Relief Grating for Augmented Reality System.

       

      Best regards,
      Kirill
