If you just want the total absorbed power at each point, integrated over frequency, it would be more efficient to integrate Re[E* dP/dt] (the work done on the polarization currents) over time at each point. I don't know offhand if there is an easy way in Meep to get access to the polarization currents, but this would be a nice feature to add. _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list meep-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
