MEEP swMATH ID: 569 Software Authors: Ardavan F. Oskooi, David Roundy, Mihai Ibanescu, Peter Bermel, J.D. Joannopoulos, Steven G. Johnson Description: MEEP: A flexible free-software package for electromagnetic simulations by the FDTD method. 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 Padé approximants, and flexible scripting capabilities.
