try switching off the "metal" behaviour by e.g. imposing a purely real 
dielectric constant on your sphere, so that it acts as a pure scatterer, record 
the field in a few points, then redo the simulation with a metal sphere and see 
what changes

just a guess

Dear MEEP users,                I am trying to calculate the near field 
enhancement of a gold nanosphere. At the moment i only calculated the 
enhancement at a fixed wavelength using a continuous source. Now i want to 
calculate the enhancement at a broadband wavelength. I don't know about the 
next steps after hitting a sphere with a broadband pulse. How should i know 
that which value of the enhancement corresponds to which wavelength?I also read 
on the group that i should take a 4D Fourier transform. Can somebody tell me 
how should i perform a 4D Fourier transform?
Thanks in advance.
BR,Aaron
