Hi Badar,

I have tried this as well in the past, but I would just redo the fit if I were 
you...much easier...
You can always use the parameters you have as an initial guess.
I have posted something on the forum some time ago, about how you can verify 
your fit in MEEP.

Best regards,

Milan

Subject: [Meep-discuss] Converting dispersive material parameters

Dear All,

I am stuck on how exactly to convert the parameters that pertain to the fitting 
of the dispersive medium in SI units, to MEEP units:

Eps(w) = a + b / (d -w^2 + j * C * w)

                where

                w = 3e14 *2*pi /lambda

                lambda is in micrometers (hence the w  = 3e14).

The parameters that I have DO fit the n and k values for the actual data for 
the sample. I converted them to MEEP units, from which I found the sigma, 
omega, Eps and gamma. I put the values into the dispersive medium model for the 
correct thickness of the sample, but upon generating the transmission spectrum 
by normalising to a pulse; the fringes seemed to be consistent with those of 
the actual sample, but the transmission was significantly under-predicted 
across the spectrum.

The conversions I have done are:

Eps stays the same

Sigma stays the same

Omega(meep) = sqrt(d).(a/(2*pi*c))

Gamma(meep) = C.(a/(2*pi*c))

                where 'a' = lengthscale, 1 = 100 nm, hence 'a' = 1e-7

                and c = 3e8

Could someone please tell me where I may be going wrong?

Many thanks.
