Dear MEEP users,

I get a Drude model for Au (the model itself has been proved to be accurate
with applicable wavelength range: 500~1000nm), and want to verify it through
simulaltion as the MEEP Tutorial of Material dispersion. I made a slight
change to the given tutorial .ctl file. However, the result achieved is not
what I have expected. The .ctl command and partial simulation results are as
follows. Any statement about my problem will be highly appreciated.

With best regards.

***************************************
The ctl command:
; Define lengthscale a = 200nm
; Wavelength range : 500~1000nm
; Corresponding frequency range in MEEP : 0.2 ~ 0.4

(set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size no-size no-size no-size)))
(set-param! resolution 20)

(set! default-material
    (make dielectric (epsilon 5.9673)
        (E-polarizations
           (make polarizability (omega 0.666667e-10) (gamma 0.0106133)
(sigma 4.4673e20))
           (make polarizability (omega 0.43338) (gamma 0.0699067) (sigma
1.09))
        )
    )
)

(define-param fcen 0.3)
(define-param df 0.2)
(set! sources (list (make source
              (src (make gaussian-src (frequency fcen) (fwidth df)))
              (component Ez) (center 0 0 0))))

(define-param kmin 0.2)
(define-param kmax 0.4)            ; I am not sure if the values for kmin
and kmax are right. However, even if I change these values, the results and
the problem are the same.
(define-param k-interp 99)
(define kpts (interpolate k-interp (list (vector3 kmin) (vector3 kmax))))

(define all-freqs (run-k-points 200 kpts)) ; a list of lists of frequencies

(map
    (lambda (kx fs)
        (map
            (lambda (f) (print "eps:, " (real-part f) ", " (imag-part f) ",
" (sqr (/ kx f)) "\n"))
            fs
        )
    )
    (map vector3-x kpts) all-freqs
)
