Hello all meep users,

I am struggling with simulations involving materials with negative epsilon.
I tried to look for help in the discussion archives and tried all possible
solutions suggested but still i am struggling with this.

I am using meep (version 1.1.1).

Material i am particularly interested in is copper with epsilon = -30.9 + i
0.9 at 850 nm wavelength.

I tried the following tricks mentioned in tutorials and the discussion
archives:

1) setting eps-averaging=False

2) i used polarizability data dispersion data from material dispersion
tutorial as an example.

3) also tried to have R(eps)=eps_infinity and SigmaD=(2 pi f Im(eps)/R(eps))


These tricks didnt work and the output was "NaN".

I would be very much thankful if someone could help me to get through this
problem. An example with negative epsilon if included in the tutorial, would
be very much helpful...
