I ran the simulation and got the following plots shown below. I ended up using germanium as a dispersive index. According to my plots, the germanium, shown in red here, has less reflection than the lnP with a constant real value since it is closer to the 0 on the y-axis. Is my logic correct,and this is also why the germanium has more transmission, shown in purple. Is my logical deduction correct?
