This is normal to compare the simulated results with experiment or publications:Â
Ansys Insight: Why my simulation result is different from published paper or experiment?
In your case, you can use stackrt: stackrt - Script command since it is thin-film device without other nano structures.
In FDTD the phase is very senstive to the mesh accuracy, and the source/monitor locations.you can place both the source and the monitor as close to the device as possible to reduce the numerical errors.
