First off, excellent work on this program. I am relatively new to the theory behind photonic crystals, and being an experimentalist, my theory abilities aren't what they should be.
I am using using MPB primarily to look at the band structures of 1D periodic PhCs, primarily looking for the band gaps. My questions are, MPB gives the y-axis of a band diagram (frequency) in units of (c/a); how do I get those values into the traditionally reported "normalized units" of frequency*(a/(2 pi c)) as one usually sees in the literature? Secondly, how do I extract a wavelength from these values, for instance if I were constructing a dielectric mirror, how would I figure out the band of reflected wavelengths? I realize these are relatively simple questions with, most likely, equally simple answers; but any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott. _______________________________________________ mpb-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mpb-discuss
