The paper considers a situation when two gold electrodes are placed on a lithium niobate substrate. As you see from the image below, the distribution of the absolute value of the electric field is symmetric with respect to x.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221;&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221;&gt;However, in my simulation, I obtain an asymmetric distribution of the electric field.
