Hi Perveen,

The silicon carbide material is defined with a positive imaginary part of the index of refraction. In engineering convention (and OptiFDTD convention) this means an amplifying medium, not a lossy one. You may want to change that to a negative imaginary part. This amplifying effect is what I assume is giving you a negative absorption.

Regards
