Hello all,

I am a beginner working with Scheme (some experience with Python) and I am trying to use Meep tomodel the interaction of light at 45-degree incidence with a surface having a grating on it.

To start off with, I set up a simple examplepasted here <http://pastebin.com/kaL21eL4>which does what I expect. My writing style is probably not ideal, and I'd welcome any pointers, but at the moment I'm not looking to overhaul that code- it works and for now that's all that matters.

The problems arise (as usual) when I try and be clever.Here <http://pastebin.com/WD2bZvt8>is some longer, more complicated code where I've tried to implement a Gaussian pulse light source (to analyse the frequency response of the system, similar tothis example <http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Tutorial#Transmission_spectrum_around_a_waveguide_bend> which it's based on). When I run this code, I keep getting the error:

   |ERROR: no value for property component
   |


I'm assuming that this means that somewhere in there, Meep thinks I've called

   |(component )
   |


with no argument, but using ctrl+f to go through every instance of "component" in the code, each one has its associated "Ez" value right next to it. Again apologies that the code is messy; I've tried to leave a few comments to give you the gist of what's going on, I'm just really not sure what I'm missing!
