Dear Daniele,

In my BSE input i give a specific electric direction 1 0 0, but in r-06_BSE_optics_bse_bsk_bss_em1s
i see some thing like this: Field direction : 0.1000E-4 0.000 0.000

I am a bit confused about the fact why i do not see 1 0 0 field direction in r-06_BSE_optics_bse_bsk_bss_em1s, either !!!

Dear Martin,
in the input you give a direction (1,0,0). What you can see in the report is the vector (not only the direction). That small number is the value used for
the q->0 limit, i.e. for the absorption. May we should change "direction", with "vector" in the report file in order to avoid confusion.

Best,

Daniele
