Solving For Total Field with Incoming Plane Wave

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to find the total field for the a substrate with an incident plane wave (i.e. sunlight on a substrate). So far I have made an injection port with a plane wave, but the problem is that I get resonances from the reflection. In reality the light source would not be coherent so no standing waves would be formed. Does anyone know how I could model this situation without generating a standing wave?

Thanks
