Dear Prof. Steven and other meep users, I have sent you an email before which described a very strange situation, the same control file gives different results based on meep-0.10.1 and meep-0.20.3. I think the result from meep-0.10.1 is right for the field distribution is reasonable and almost overlaps with result given by mpb. However, I tried an example called ring.ctl and found the result was similar to the result given by website. What happen to my .ctl? Thank you very very much. Sincerely, Li PS: The code is attached and the command should be "meep kx=0.455 line-defect-meep.ctl | tee line-defect-meep.out" The result given by meep-0.20.3 is as follows, harminv0:, frequency, imag. freq., Q, |amp|, amplitude, error harminv0:, 0.199992443176843, 0.00106393940446218, -93.9867638786909, 248.590827359398, -246.156353721556+34.7051720891609i, 5.56840029066671e-5 harminv0:, 0.244257548009154, 1.69586098608868e-5, -7201.57931613567, 57546.4703141053, -44448.9214146996+36549.823948715i, 5.5436640981173e-8 harminv0:, 0.315909872378239, 5.44024199948998e-4, -290.345422508646, 60.6783985864972, 14.7041727568326-58.8698170420041i, 4.82323002927895e-4 harminv0:, 0.343139329220777, 0.00219029364430844, -78.3318095526684, 43.4020505925575, 36.1850319201478+23.9662567076464i, 1.31936084176338e-4
