The scale in MEEP are all in terms of some characteristic length scale (i.e. a, maybe it's the length of a unit cell) you choose.
For example, if a is 1um, then 16X16X3 means 16umX16umX3um; if a is 1nm, then 16X16X3 means 16nmX16nmX3nm. Regard, Simon we pick some characteristic lengthscale in the system, *a*, and use that as our unit of distance.
