Dear Meep users,

Has anybody performed an analysis of the PML efficiency at oblique incidence ? 
I am considering a band gap material, and in the gap region the transmission 
looks fine (1e-6 to 1e-8 values), but the reflection oscillates with the 
frequency. The oscillation are around the correct value of 1 and their 
amplitude is about 0.1. My guess is that there is some effective cavity between 
the sample and the PML which give rise to the oscillations. Their amplitude 
decreases as with increasing resolution.

So my question is if anybody has had similar experience with PMLs at oblique 
incidence or if, more general, has looked at the efficiency of the PMLs for 
absorbing of, say,  diffuse light ?

Thanks,
Marian
