Hi,
I am trying to find the eigenmodes of a grated ring waveguide. To do so I simulate a segment of the ring and use periodic boundary conditions. Since light should be radiated upwards and downwards PMLs should be added to avoid reflections. However after adding the PMLs the solver always crashes, giving the message:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception:
