Overview
F2P
is a program gradually written by Dr. Min Qiu during his about 5 year
research on 2D photonic crystal devices. The full name of the program is
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)
2D simulator for
Photonic devices. It is developed in
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden.
The
program can deal with most of 2D photonic devices, in particular, photonic
crystal devices. Since the FDTD method solves Maxwell's equations in time
domain, the program can simulate wave propagation easily. It is also
extremely powerful to compute the spectra response (transmission and
reflection) of the devices.
