The MIT Photonic-Bands (MPB) package is a 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.)
