MEEP FDTD DOWNLOAD

GDSII file import for planar geometries. Time-Domain Simulation A time-domain electromagnetic simulation simply evolves Maxwell's equations over time within some finite computational volume, essentially performing a kind of numerical experiment. PML is, strictly speaking, not a boundary condition — rather, it is a special absorbing material placed adjacent to the boundaries. In some cases, the bottleneck can be in the front-side bus instead of the CPU core. Description omega gamma oscillator strength sigma Debye relaxation around 1 GHz.

Introduction

These effects are supported in Meep and are described in Materials. This may be interesting particularly for the research of metamaterials, as the s-parameters can be processed to obtain the effective index of refraction of the metamaterial. Although PML is reflectionless in the theoretical continuous system, in the actual discretized system it has some small reflections which make it imperfect.

After we tell MEEP what callback to use, we may create the structure object. Moreover, since in Meep units, or is the unit of time as well. Instead, what one does is to accumulate the Fourier transforms and for every point in the flux plane via summation over the discrete time steps:. Meep takes care of all of this for you automatically, of course — you simply specify the regions over which you want to integrate the flux, and the frequencies that you want to meel.

You may experiment changing the structure or letting the simulation timestepping continue to a later time and load the new field into mayavi2 to compare how it evolves. Even more powerfully, one can compute many such quantities for fdts frequencies simultaneously using the Fourier transform of a short pulse as described below.

Three basic types of terminations are supported in Meep: Given the field patterns, you can then perform other analyses e.

In particular, the equations for the time evolution of the fields are:. It is therefore fastest to get along with the non-MPI version of meep here, although the second processor core remains idle. Arbitrary current sources including a mode launcher.

Introduction - MEEP Documentation

Callback Most of the methods defined by AbstractMeepModel simplify the otherwise quite intimidating interaction with python-meep's internals. Installation procedure, basic simulation, material definition and some advanced features fdt discussed.

fdyd Since only a finite region of space can be meepp, the simulation must always be terminated with some boundary conditions. However, because it is a simple linear interpolation, while E and D may be discontinuous across dielectric boundaries, it means that the interpolated E and D fields may be less accurate than you might expect right around dielectric interfaces.

Meep's scriptable interface makes it possible to combine many sorts of computations along with multi-parameter optimization in sequence or in parallel.

Also, FDTD is only one of several useful methods in computational electromagnetics, each of which mesp their own special uses — a few of the other methods are mentioned, and some hints are provided as to which applications FDTD is well suited for and when you should potentially consider a different method. This can be used to calculate a wide variety of useful quantities. Alternatively, you can use Meep's frequency-domain solver to find the response directly by solving the associated linear equation.

It is very helpful to check the resulting structure in Mep, as discussed below. If the git version was unavailable, use the failsafe alternative below git clone https: Support and Feedback If you have questions or problems regarding Meep, you are encouraged to query the mailing list.

For example, if you know that your system has a mirror symmetry plane both in the structure and in the current sourcesthen you can save a factor of two by only simulating half of the structure and obtaining the other half by mirror reflection.

You can't simply compute the flux in the backwards direction, because this would give you the sum of the reflected and the incident power. Therefore we will briefly show an example of a dielectric, discuss the specifics of the metals and then we will describe how to define them in MEEP. And, of course, you may want the field patterns of these modes along with how a given mode is decomposed into a linear superposition of jeep basis modes. From right to left we see the wave that propagated around the sphere, then a wave that still propagates in the denser medium of the sphere being focused at rear interface and at the left there is also a weak reflected wave.

For example, suppose we want the gdtd power through some structure.

The typical usage is that one may define any structure containing dispersive materials, run a standard time-domain simulation to obtain the full spectra, identify the resonance frequences and finally rerun the simulation in frequency-domain mode to see the resonant modes.

Frtd are too many such techniques to easily summarize here. This often manifests as a corrupt or incomplete HDF5 file being saved.
