Scattering parameters use plane wave by definition. So when you use non-plane wave, you have to decide what quantity to use for the intensity, since abs(E)^2 is space-dependent. You may use the peak intensity, or an averaged intensity, it is up to you.
wrinkles? it might be due to reflection from PML, or source size is small. Here is what I got:
