Package Information

Descriptionsoftware package for FDTD simulation

Meep is a free and open-source software package for electromagnetics simulation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

Its features include: * Free and open-source software under the GNU GPL. * Complete scriptability via Python, Scheme, or C++ APIs. * Simulation in 1d, 2d, 3d, and cylindrical coordinates. * Distributed memory parallelism on any system supporting MPI. * Arbitrary anisotropic electric permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ, along with dispersive ε(ω) and μ(ω) including loss/gain, nonlinear (Kerr & Pockels) dielectric and magnetic materials, electric/magnetic conductivities σ, and saturable gain/absorption. * Perfectly-matched layer (PML) absorbing boundaries as well as Bloch-periodic and perfect-conductor boundary conditions. * Exploitation of symmetries to reduce the computation size, including even/odd mirror planes and 90°/180° rotations. * Arbitrary current sources including a guided-mode launcher. * Frequency-domain solver for finding the response to a continuous-wave (CW) source. * ε/μ and field import/export in the HDF5 data format. * GDSII file import for planar geometries. * Materials library containing predefined broadband, complex refractive indices. * Field analyses including Poynting flux, mode decomposition, near to far transformations, frequency extraction, local density of states (LDOS), modal volume, Maxwell stress tensor, arbitrary functions; completely programmable.

Comment: processing meep.i with the version already in the archive
         does not work, so this copy seems to be needed
