Boundary condition selection in simulating the surface plasmon resonance

At the beginning I selected scattery boundary condition for all the outside boundary, and set one value of them into 1 as input side, and k vector to change the input angle. But the results do not match the numercial results obtained by matlab.
Later, I got reply from COMSOL support, and they changed the boundary condition into Port condition for input, and set the input power of 1W/m, and select Floquet Periodic condition for all the other boundaries except inner boundary and input-output ports.
Could anybody tell me how to distinguish the scattery boundary condition from Floquet periodic condition? When should I use scattery condition?
Thanks a lot.
The first attached file is the one I created, named spr-prism-1.mph.
The second one is from COMSOL.
According to the second one, I changed the first one into the third file, but the SPR is not correct. What is wrong then?
