Meep for developers

If you want to modify the Meep source code, you will want to have a number of additional packages, most importantly:

• The Darcs (http://www.darcs.net/) version-control system.

Once you have Darcs, you can grab the latest development version of Meep with:

darcs get http://ab-initio.mit.edu/~meep/meep 

This gives you a fresh, up-to-date Meep repository in a directory meep. See www.darcs.net for more information on using Darcs; perhaps the most useful command is darcs pull, which you can execute periodically to get any new updates to the development version.

Darcs will give you an absolutely minimal set of sources; to create a usable Meep directory, you should run:

sh autogen.sh
make

in the meep directory. (And subsequently, if you are editing the sources you should include --enable-maintainer-mode whenever you reconfigure.) To do this, however, you will need a number of additional packages beyond those listed above:

• GNU autoconf (http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/), automake (http://sources.redhat.com/automake/), and libtool (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html) — these are used to create the Makefiles and configure scripts, and to build shared libraries.
• The Glasgow Haskell Compiler (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/) — some of Meep's C++ source code files are actually generated by programs (in the hsrc/ subdirectory) written in a programming language called Haskell.
• SWIG (http://www.swig.org/) — the Scheme/libctl interface to Meep is largely generated by a program called SWIG (Simple Wrapper and Interface Generator). We currently require SWIG version 1.3.25 or later. Moreover, if you are using 1.3.27 or earlier, you must patch the file Source/Modules/guile.cxx with this bug fix (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/swig/SWIG/Source/Modules/guile.cxx?r1=1.33&r2=1.34).

要干这个了，可是一点都不懂

Meep中实现平面波的斜入射

; This example creates an approximate TM planewave in vacuum
; propagating at a 45-degree angle, by using a couple of current sources
; with amplitude exp(ikx) corresponding to the desired planewave.

(define-param s 11) ; the size of the computational cell, not including PML
(define-param dpml 1) ; thickness of PML layers

(define sxy (+ s (* 2 dpml))) ; cell size, including PML
(set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size sxy sxy no-size)))

(set! pml-layers (list (make pml (thickness dpml))))
(set-param! resolution 10)

; pw-amp is a function that returns the amplitude exp(ik(x+x0)) at a
; given point x. (We need the x0 because current amplitude functions
; in Meep are defined relative to the center of the current source,
; whereas we want a fixed origin.) Actually, it is a function of k
; and x0 that returns a function of x ...
(define ((pw-amp k x0) x)
(exp (* 0+1i (vector3-dot k (vector3+ x x0)))))

(define-param fcen 0.8) ; pulse center frequency
(define-param df 0.02) ; turn-on bandwidth
(define-param kdir (vector3 1 1)) ; direction of k (length is irrelevant)
(define k (vector3-scale (* 2 pi fcen)
(unit-vector3 kdir))) ; k with correct length
(define kxcos (vector3-x (unit-vector3 k))) ; direction cosine of k in x
(define kycos (vector3-y (unit-vector3 k))) ; direction cosine of k in y

(set! sources
(list

; left
(make source
(src (make continuous-src (frequency fcen) (fwidth df)))
(component Ez) (center (* -0.5 s) 0) (size 0 s)
(amp-func (pw-amp k (vector3 (* -0.5 s) 0))))

; bottom
(make source
(src (make continuous-src (frequency fcen) (fwidth df)))
(component Ez) (center 0 (* -0.5 s)) (size s 0)
(amp-func (pw-amp k (vector3 0 (* -0.5 s)))))

))

(define-param T 400) ; run time
(run-until T (at-end output-efield-z))

过一会儿改成C++版。

Meep Introduction - AbInitio

Meep Introduction - AbInitio: "Units in Meep

You may have noticed the lack of annoying constants like ε0, μ0, c, and 4π — that's because Meep uses 'dimensionless' units where all these constants are unity (you can tell it was written by theorists). As a practical matter, almost everything you might want to compute (transmission spectra, frequencies, etcetera) is expressed as a ratio anyway, so the units end up cancelling.

In particular, because Maxwell's equations are scale invariant (multiplying the sizes of everything by 10 just divides the corresponding solution frequencies by 10), it is convenient in electromagnetic problems to choose scale-invariant units. That means that we pick some characteristic lengthscale in the system, a, and use that as our unit of distance.

Moreover, since c = 1 in Meep units, a (or a / c) is our unit of time as well. In particular, the frequency ω in Meep (corresponding to a time dependence e − iωt) is always specified in units of 2πc / a, which is equivalent to specifying ω as 1 / T: the inverse of the optical period T in units of a / c. This, in turn, is equivalent to specifying ω as a / λ where λ is the vacuum wavelength. (A similar scheme is used in MPB.)

For example, suppose we are describing some nanophotonic structure at infrared frequencies,"
