Hello dear photonic guys,

first of all thank you for making this wonderful peace of software.

I'm using it to calculate the ideal band-diagrams for my prepared inverse
opal structures.

This works quite fine, but I'm struggling a bit with the relative scale.

Do I have to convert it to absolute by taking the "a" or "a0" with
a0=sqrt(.5) ?

And does the radius also correlate to "a0"?

For example if I consider air-spheres of r=150nm with a=424nm and a0=300nm,

is it legit to use the 424nm to convert to the absolute scale?

 

Thanks in advance for your time and help,

Best regards

 

M. Teck
