It helped but not good enough. i want to try to define a smooth discontinuity from the boundary between pml and cell. but i dont know how to define the pml-profile rightly. i used: (set! pml-layers (list (make pml (thickness 20.0)) (pml-profile (lambda (u) (* u u u))))) because i saw in the Meep Reference man can change the pml profile by using (pml-profile (lambda (u) (* u u u))), but it didnt work. Could you help me this?
p.s. I dont know why i cant use "Search"-function in GMANE now. _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
