I read that changing the film thickness can help you to acheive those results but when I change the thickness of the film, I see no changes in my transmission and refledtion plots. I changed thie thickness of the lnP rectangle z min to z max fron -0.18um through 0.18um to 0 to 0.1 um. Can anyone advice what&nbsp; I am doing wrong and how I may change the thickness of lnP rectangle to minimize my reflection? I attached my current plots and thickness values.
