However, such device may have strong scattering at larger angle, so please use more PML layers. It is important when you used finer mesh. Make sure the PML is thick enough, say half wavelength.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, maybe you have already did so, but I still suggest to check if the SiO2 substrate has been extended to outside of PML. Otherwise it will create oscillation due to cavity effect.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-360530","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This is a common question regarding to &quot;sinusodal flutuation&quot; in transmission\/reflection.
