Re: [Meep-discuss] meep-discuss Digest, Vol 37, Issue 3

Hi Nathan, I had a similar problem when simulating real metals - it turns out that Meep will not accept negative permittivities without blowing up. You have to sneak up on the negative permittivity by using the polarizability feature of materials (see

[Meep-discuss] Transmissivity of a thin metal film

Hello all, I am attempting to use Meep to model the transmissivity of a thin metal (Au in fact) film in a thin bandwidth. As such I have defined a simple 1D simulation with a Gaussian pulse source with a small bandwidth, and defined the metal through the frequency independent

[Meep-discuss] [Meep discuss] Get the maximum value and another question

Hi, 1) How can I get the maximum value of E-field of CW source I guess the easiest way is to output efield-X to an hdf5 file and then import it into Matlab (using h5read) or Python (using the 'tables' and 'scipy' modules for example) and do max(array) (in Matlab) where array is the name

Re: [Meep-discuss] meep-discuss Digest, Vol 32, Issue 7

This is covered in the reference page somewhere, but just add: (if (null? fields) (init-fields)) before you call magnetic-energy-in-box in your definition. Ian On 14 Oct 2008, at 17:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --

[Meep-discuss] Problem during h5utils configure

the configure echo and the config.log files to http://pastebin.com/ m6496e8ec and http://pastebin.com/m43a35b19 to save space here. There are lots of references to h5 there but not sure what it is telling me. Thanks for any help. Regards, Ian Buss --- Research PhD Student

[Meep-discuss] flux-region questions

Hello Meep users, I am interested in investigating the flux distribution over a plane outside a certain scattering structure. Is there a quick way to access the flux-region data usefully in order to produce a hdf5 output file showing the distribution of energy at a particular frequency over

explicitly used a complex value for the amplitude (http://osdir.com/ml/science.electromagnetism.meep.general/2006-08/msg00039.html). Any help that anyone could give would be gratefully received. Regards, Ian Buss -- --- Research PhD Student Photonics Group Department
