Dear all,

first of all: Thanks for you kind support!

I am trying to simulate a simple Bragg reflector made up of double layers 
of Si3N4/SiO2using a Guassian source centered around 1550 nm (1/0.64). 
(Meep/Python)

When simply using fixed epsilon values (e.g.: material = mp.Medium(epsilon 
= 1.989*1.989)) everything works fine. 

When instead - which is what I would prefer to do - referring to Meep's 
material list for either SiO2 or Si3N4 (e.g. material = Si3N4_NIR) or 
both, the simulation keeps aborting after some time steps with an error 
message referring to the code line containing the "sim.run(...)"-command, 
and giving the error message: "RuntimeError: meep: simulation fields are 
NaN or Inf".

I have been scratching my head for some time now, so I was wondering if 
you might give me a hint as to what might be going wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Best
Sebastian

P.S. I could imagine that this topic has been raised in the past already, 
unfortunately  I didn't succeed in accessing the meep-discuss archive.
