[Meep-discuss] Numerical Erros while keeping the source inside the material

2013-08-01 Thread Yousuf Khan

Hello dear meep users,

I am simulating an optical fiber structure having a grating layer on its 
tip. A circular source is placed inside the core and transmissiom and 
reflection flux is measured above and below the grating layer on the tip of 
fiber. In this senario, transmission 
monitor layer is placed in the air just above the grating and reflection 
monitir layer is placed inside the core and cladding just below the 
grating layer. 

The refrective indices of the structures are core: 1.468, cladding: 1.4613, 
grating layer: 2.134. 

If i simulate just the grating suspended in the air, the transmission and 
reflection spectra are symmetric. While if i include core and cladding 
transmission spectrum remains the same but reflection sprectrum show strange 
graph. It 
ossicilates between -3 to 0.2 reflection values instead of staying in 
between 0 and 1. 

Can any body suggest what is the problem.  The ctl file is attached.

Yousuf Khan
