MEEP FDTD Simulator

Purpose

Provides expert guidance on MEEP FDTD simulations for photonic devices, including geometry definition, source configuration, and field extraction.

Capabilities

• Geometry definition with materials library
• Source configuration (dipole, Gaussian, plane wave)
• Absorbing boundary conditions (PML)
• Flux and field extraction
• Parameter sweeps and optimization
• Parallel domain decomposition

Usage Guidelines

1. Geometry: Define device geometry with proper materials
2. Sources: Configure appropriate source types
3. Boundaries: Set up PML absorbing boundaries
4. Monitors: Place flux monitors and field probes
5. Parallelization: Use domain decomposition for large simulations
