Dear users,

I' d like to use a band diagram from MPB to extract information about what
frequencies are important to some phonomena I want to observe with MEEP.
For instance, if we looking for a slow light regime, we would pay attention
for frequencies ranges where the curve wXk is horizontal, because dw/dk
would be nearly zero. But, here is my problem. In band diagrams from MPB,
how can I convert the frequencies to MEEP? i.e., how can I convert the
units in band diagram from MPB to MEEP units? Another example: if, in a
band diagram from MPB, we have a band gap from 0.2 to 0.3, what is this
range in MEEP units?

Thank you.
