Polarization sorter has power greater than unity #65

mfschubert commented 11 months ago

Carrying out a naive optimization of the polarization sorter challenge can yield unphysical results, i.e. situations where power is not conserved. This should be investigated and remedied.

We suspect the violation is coming from the large terms in the Fourier expansion, which are likely to be less well converged.
