MPB support for conductance? #139

Closed scottkenning closed 3 years ago

scottkenning commented 3 years ago

Hi, does MPB support conducting mediums? The MPB documentation references MEEP's documentation when it comes to materials, which does mention them. However, I cannot find a direct reference to them in MPB's docs, which leads me to believe any conductance passed to the "Medium" object is ignored by MPB.

MPB only supports lossless, wavelength-independent, anisotropic ε and μ. Any dispersive part of ε or μ is ignored.
