Hit the green "Run" button. Watch the "FDTD Progress" window. Look for:

Add a Rectangle on top of the substrate. Set width ( and height ( . Set material to Si (Silicon) - Palik . Add FDTD Region: Enclose a segment of the waveguide. Set -min before the waveguide starts, and -max past its end. Set boundaries to PML on all sides. Add Mode Source: Place it at the start of the waveguide ( -min). Click "Select Mode" and choose the fundamental TEcap T cap E mode. Set the wavelength range from The Ultimate Lumerical FDTD Tutorial: From Setup to

For advanced engineering problems like inverse design or genetic algorithm parameter optimization, use the window.

1. Increase the simulation threshold (e.g., change from 1e-5 to 1e-7) or extend the maximum simulation runtime.2. Ensure the source boundaries do not overlap or touch the PML edges directly.3. Verify that plane waves at oblique angles utilize Bloch boundaries instead of simple periodic boundaries. "Memory limit exceeded."
