| Summary: | This paper describes Meep, a popular free implementation of the finite-difference time-domain
(FDTD) method for simulating electromagnetism. In particular, we focus on aspects of implementing
a full-featured FDTD package that go beyond standard textbook descriptions of the
algorithm, or ways in which Meep differs from typical FDTD implementations. These include
pervasive interpolation and accurate modeling of subpixel features, advanced signal processing,
support for nonlinear materials via Pad´e approximants, and flexible scripting capabilities. |
