Yes. I know that we can observe small oscillation, when amplitude is small (especially on edge of source spectrum). But even for different resolutions (even better) I have got oscillations in middle frequency region as well. And that oscillations are quite big. And I have found that the position of detector regards to PhC and source influence on this phenomena. Unfortunately sent graph include only the best result. I was wondering how I can solve this problem. I think the best option will be try do this work for few different sources with different central frequency. And assemble results to one to compare with result for one wider source. It is idea, I try in near future. Anyway I wonder what causing this problem, not this small oscillation on edge of spectrum, but this big oscillation in middle.
