Galaa This seems to be a different problem from mine because when I have seen these excursions, they have not been reproducible either in position or in amplitude. Have you varied the resolution of your FDTD routine or the periodicity of your “comb” structure? One other suggestion: try to make sure that your computational grid aligns exactly on the interface between materials…I have seen strange artifacts arise when the computational points straddle, say, a discontinuous permittivity boundary.
