A_FMM’s documentation

Python implementation the Aperiodic-Fourier Modal Method. A fully vectorial method for solving Maxwell equations that combines a Fourier-based mode solver and a scattering matrix recursion algorithm to model full 3D structures. This approach is well suited to calculate modes, transmission, reflection, scattering and absorption of multi-layered structures. Moreover, support for Bloch modes of periodic structures allows for the simulation of photonic crystals or waveguide Bragg gratings.
