My structure consists of a 2D array of air holes in a silicon background, with a lattice constant of 500 nm. I'm using a Gaussian source with a wavelength range of 1500-1600 nm. I've meshed the structure with a maximum mesh size of 20 nm.

I have set up a 2D simulation of a ring resonator. I defined the silicon core with a mesh override region to resolve the 1550nm wavelength properly. However, after roughly 20% of the simulation time, the job manager reports: "WARNING: Electric field values are too large... simulation diverging." lumerical forum
