No, sorry, I haven’t tried that one

Hi Harkiranjeet,

It is still larger but marginally, like 1.00005 so I guess this is just computational errors piling up and this can be ignored.

What helped me to solve the issue was 2 things. First I enlarged a bit the free space between the grating and input line. My dimensions are 7 microns device and 20 microns free space. Second, I increased the number of time steps there was insufficient number of them. I had 10000 and 60000 or 100000 solved the issue.

Hope this helps,
Natalia

I think I found the problem. It was insufficient timesteps number for this size.

I have ricwaa calculations. I’m comparing against them. See the plot attached

Thanks again for help.
I tried to run your file. And it still shows normalized power more than one.
I also played with distances and it seems that the spectrum is different depending on where I put the input field plane. Why is that?

Dear Damian,

I can’t open the file cause my version is 32 bit. Could you please save the file in other format, our describe what to change.
In particular I can’t find where do I set these
Also the DFT spectrum you specified wasn’t reflected by the simulation parameters. I think it was set to something like 0.4 to 0.8 um, so I changed it to 7.5 um to 12.5 um.
I don’t see any wavelength changes in simulation parameters dialog.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, Damian,

I attached my file.
Basically, what I need to calculate is reflection coefficients over 7.5 – 12.5 mu.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Natalia

Dear Damian,

Thank you for the answer.
About the substrate what I meant is the situation on the attached pictures. I am getting different reflection spectra depending on the thickness of SrF2 layer. If I model the same situation say in ricwaa it wouldn’t be the case.
I thought may be it’s possible to modify initial conditions in a way that the lower side of the substrate is considered infinite?

Best regards,
Natalia Rebrova

Hello, David.

Thank you very much for your answer it is very helpful.
About normalization on observation line. What got me confused is that sometimes I get values larger than one after normalization.

Best regards,
Natalia
