Is there any other solution that might work?

Each frequency will correspond to a different incident angle for the same wavevector. However, if you want the response for multiple angles and multiple frequencies, then you can do a sequence of pulses for different Bloch wavevector boundary conditions and cover a whole range of both frequencies and angles.

I think this was discussed on the mailing list previously.
