 The deflection efficiencies for the example device in this repo are:
-- **Device1**: TM 95.7%
-- **Device2**: TM 93.3%
-- **Device3**: TM 96.6%
+- **Device1**: TM 95.7% (RETICOLO/RCWA), 95.5% (MEEP/FDTD)

+The MEEP results were obtained using `metagrating.meep.py`.
 
 `device.mat` file contains all optimization parameters and final device pattern in matlab format while `device.csv` is the optimized device pattern (2D matrix) in csv format.
