Hi, your error is: you define (myoutput) and u want to run-until 200 my-output, so u have to conserve the same definition, define myoutput, run-until 200 myoutput, or define (my-output) and run-until 200 my-output)

I tried to remove the add-flux, did not define any flux region. I got the snapshots of the fields at the end of the time-stepping. The only hitch is that I am not able to get the exact values of the transmitted power and the incident power. It will be really helpful if you can tell me how I get those values.

It will accumulate a fourier transform to detect the energy at various frequencies you specify. If you have a continuous source and you run it long enough for the transients to disappear, then you already know the frequency, and there is no need for Fourier transforming or (add-flux ...). You can just take a snapshot of the fields (you could run meep with complex fields if you want complex fields; or you could take two snapshots 90 degrees in phase apart). Indeed add-flux will give you the wrong answer with a continuous source (it is not intended for running when sources are still on) Good luck, m. Sanchit Khatavkar wrote: Dear Alexandr, Thanks for your reply. You are right. The CW source has only one frequency in the flux spectrum. I am attaching my ctl file for your reference. "add-flux" needs 3 parameters, namely "fcen" "df" "nfreq" alongwith the flux-regions... (Quoting from Meep Reference) Since a continuous source sends out light of a single frequency, what do we specify for "df" and "nfreq". As a trial, I gave the fixed frequency as "fcen", 0 as "df" and 1 as "nfreq". I am not sure whether if this is the right approach. Kindly advise.
