Dear MEEP users, I have modeled a dispersive material and now trying to simulate a sphere. I am having a problem with the size of sphere. My sphere radius is 0.01 (in meep units), which is equivalent to 10nm. The source size is 0.5 x 0.5 x 0. See the code given below. The problem is that when i run the simulation, i obtained a very small sphere, which seems like a point. I don't want to change the radius of the sphere because i saw on the meep group that the sphere radius should be much smaller than the size of source and also one big reason is that when i increased the radius of a sphere then i got higher modes. I am only interested in lower modes like monopole, diapole and quadrapole etc. I even increased the resolution up to 150 but still facing the same problem. I am using "h5topng -S3 -t1:6000 -y15 -Zc dkbluered sphere-y-efield.h5" for output. Does anybody know where the problem is? or Give me some suggestions to solve this problem. (set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size 0.5 0.5 1))) (set! geometry (list (make sphere (center 0 0 0) (radius 0.01) (material (make dielectric (epsilon 1) . . . . . )) (set! resolution 150) (set! sources (list (make source (src(make gaussian-src (wavelength 0.6) (width 0.6))) (component Ey) (center 0 0 -0.3) (size 0.5 0.5 0) ) ) ) . . . . . Best Regards, Hogen
