Hi,
Yes! For example the Aluminum layer (thin film) would be modeled as a very large and lossy refractive index similar to the example in the link below:

You will just have to be careful to choose the appropriate mesh size, since the large index of refraction will shorten the effective wavelength considerably.
Cheers
