Hi,

i found harminv only works after some step functions, not all step functions.
Harminv runs after after-sources, after-sources+ T, and after-time T. It stopes after other step functions, for examples: at-end, at-time T.

this is very strange.

a gaussian source was used in my simulation and i need to do frequency analysis at a point which is far away from the source. this is like one of meep examples: modes of a ring resonator. that means a period of time is needed for wave to propagate from source. which step function is the best for my simualtion if i need an accurate harminv result? In the meep manual, it is recommended the step function after-sources is sufficient. but i found the harminv result is related with the step-function, i.e. which time step is used for harminv.

by the way, in my simulation, the center frequency of gaussian source is 0.35, but the harminv results gives a shifted frequency less than 0.35. why? the structure in my simulation is a square-rod photonic crystal. does photonic crystal shift frequency?

thanks,
