This case compares a local FDTDX result with pinned reference data generated by Tidy3D.

Technical schematic associated with 3-layer stack transmission spectrum vs Tidy3D

Representative field across a layered material geometry.#

What is exercised#

CW Poynting T=S_T/S0 at 0.85/1.0/1.15 µm. Same cells as pulsed_vs_cw. Agrees with TMM theory and Tidy3D golden when measured as power (not |E|).

This case runs at its declared full benchmark resolution (resolution factor 1.0).

The table is rendered from progress.json; it is not a hand-written success claim. For metrics that report an error directly, the “observed” column repeats that error and the reference column is the acceptance threshold.
