This paper describes (MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation), a popular free and open-source implementation of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method for simulating classical electromagnetism. Beyond standard textbook implementations, Meep focuses on providing a full-featured package that integrates unusual features such as pervasive interpolation for subpixel accuracy, advanced signal processing for resonant modes, and support for complex media. 1. Introduction Introduction The FDTD algorithm is a ubiquitous tool

The FDTD algorithm is a ubiquitous tool in computational electromagnetics that evolves Maxwell's equations on a staggered . While numerous commercial packages exist, researchers often require the flexibility of source-code access and scriptable control. First released in 2006, Meep addresses these needs by offering a portable, parallelized, and highly customizable environment for both researchers and students. 2.
