Re: [Meep-discuss] Problem with Inverted Pyramid Structure at Small Absorption

I've tried increasing PML thickness (went up to 8 micron) and resolution (went up to 150). As for run time, I am using the decay factor, and have manually been terminating it when the reflectances exceed unity. I think the maximum time I've run for is around 3000 units. On 2020-08-14 9:11

Note that due to the Fourier Uncertainty Principle, the runtime should be at least ~1/frequency resolution. In practice, the runtime may even have to be twice as large as demonstrated in

As an immediate solution, I implemented the coordinate transform method the following paper to simulate bent waveguides in the MPB modesolver: https://www.osapublishing.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-38-11-1778 Essentially, I define a "get_epsilon" method that returns an epsilon tensor in the
