But I found something weird.<\/p>\n<p>I use a mode source in the simulation. However, the transmission spetrum (see the attached figure) at the output (green line) is greater than that at the input port (blue line), which from my perspective is not reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>I have tried several ways, e.g., increasing simulation time, the number of the PML layers and the mesh accuracy to deal with this issue, but all in vain.
