A program for calculating photonic band structures, Green's functions and transmission/reflection coefficients using a non-orthogonal FDTD method

Abstract
In this paper we present an updated version of our ONYX program for calculating photonic band structures using a non-orthogonal finite difference time domain method. This new version employs the same transparent formalism as the first version with the same capabilities for calculating photonic band structures or causal Green's functions but also includes extra subroutines for the calculation of transmission and reflection coefficients. Both the electric and magnetic fields are placed onto a d...

Title of program: ONYX Version 2.1
Catalogue Id: ADIJ_v2_0 [ADLU]

Nature of problem
Efficient calculation of either photonic dispersion relationships, Green's functions or transmission and reflection coefficients for photons in complex dielectric structures.
