Plotting values from a for loop

Hi all!
I want to plot the values from the for loop in this code
h = 10^-6;
n2 = 1.5*(10^-18);
p = 1.27;
A = 0.685*(10^-6);
l = 6*(10^-3);
L = 2300 * 10^-9;
E = 8.85 * 10^-12;
n = 3.75;
B = 2*pi/L
c = 3 * 10^8;
w = c * B;
Ex = (2 * 25) * 10^-6;
g = ((n2*w)/(c*A))
Ax = 10^9;
Ay = 10^7;
ii = 0;
for z = 0:h:l;
ii = ii + 1;
Axx = Ax + (h*ii)*((g * abs(Ax^2)) + ((2*p/3) * abs(Ay^2)*Ax) + ((ii*g*p/3)*conj(Ax)*(Ay^2)*exp(1)^(-2*ii*B*z)));
Ayy = Ay + (h*ii)*((g * abs(Ay^2)) + ((2*p/3) * abs(Ax^2)*Ay) + ((ii*g*p/3)*conj(Ay)*(Ax^2)*exp(1)^(-2*ii*B*z)));
LL = ii;
end
figure(1);
plot(LL, Axx);
figure(2);
plot(LL, Ayy);
But when I run the code, the plots are blank. Is this because the variables I'm plotting only have scope inside the loop or is there another reason? How can I plot the values? Thanks!

Note: While 1.5*(10^-18) is an expensive power operation, 1.5e-18 is a cehap constant. It will not matter the runtime measurably, but it is a good programming practize to prefer cheap code in general.

clc; clear all ;
h = 10^-6;
n2 = 1.5*(10^-18);
p = 1.27;
A = 0.685*(10^-6);
l = 6*(10^-3);
L = 2300 * 10^-9;
E = 8.85 * 10^-12;
n = 3.75;
B = 2*pi/L
c = 3 * 10^8;
w = c * B;
Ex = (2 * 25) * 10^-6;
g = ((n2*w)/(c*A))
Ax = 10^9;
Ay = 10^7;
ii = 0;
loop = 0:h:l ;
LL = zeros(size(0:h:l)) ;
Axx = LL;
Ayy = LL ;
for i = 1:length(loop)
z = loop(i) ;
ii = ii + 1;
Axx(i) = Ax + (h*ii)*((g * abs(Ax^2)) + ((2*p/3) * abs(Ay^2)*Ax) + ((ii*g*p/3)*conj(Ax)*(Ay^2)*exp(1)^(-2*ii*B*z)));
Ayy(i) = Ay + (h*ii)*((g * abs(Ay^2)) + ((2*p/3) * abs(Ax^2)*Ay) + ((ii*g*p/3)*conj(Ay)*(Ax^2)*exp(1)^(-2*ii*B*z)));
LL(i) = ii;
end
figure(1);
plot(LL, Axx);
figure(2);
plot(LL, Ayy);
It has to be further refined...
