The MIT Photonic-Bands (MPB) package is a free program for computing the band
|
|
structures (dispersion relations) and electromagnetic modes of periodic
|
|
dielectric structures, on both serial and parallel computers. It was developed
|
|
by Steven G. Johnson at MIT in the Joannopoulos Ab Initio Physics group.
|
|
|
|
This program computes definite-frequency eigenstates of Maxwell's equations in
|
|
periodic dielectric structures for arbitrary wavevectors, using fully-vectorial
|
|
and three-dimensional methods. It is especially designed for the study of
|
|
photonic crystals (a.k.a. photonic band-gap materials), but is also applicable
|
|
to many other problems in optics, such as waveguides and resonator systems.
|
|
(For example, it can solve for the modes of waveguides with arbitrary cross-
|
|
sections.)
