CAMFR Description

CAMFR - Fast, flexible, friendly full-vectorial Maxwell solver CAMFR (CAvity Modelling FRamework) is a fast, flexible, friendly full-vectorial Maxwell solver.Although CAMFR can tackle general electromagnetic problems, CAMFR's main focus is on applications in the field of photonics.Its main focus is on applications in the field of nanophotonics, like· wavelength-scale microstructures (like photonic crystal devices)· lasers (like vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers)· light-emitting diodes (like resonant-cavity LEDs)It is based on a combination of eigenmode expansion and advanced boundary conditions like perfectly matched layers (PML). CAMFR can be used to calculate:· the scattering matrix of a structure· the field inside a structure, for any given excitation· band diagrams of an infinite periodic structure· threshold material gain and resonance wavelength of laser modes· the response to a current source in an arbitrary cavity· structures terminated by a semi-infinite repetition of another structure This functionality is currently available for two types of geometries:· 2D Cartesian structures· 3D cylindrical symmetric structures Additionally, there is code to model the extraction from light emitting diodes, either planar devices, or 3D devices which incorporate 2D periodic structures.Defining structures is quite straightforward, either layer-by-layer, or using geometric primitive shapes. There are also integrated plotting routines for rapid simulation feedback.Here are some key features of "CAMFR":· Python 2.4· NumPy and SciPy· matplotlib · The Scons building tool· numpy 1.0 or later· The Boost Python Library· Blitz++ · BLAS and LAPACK· Python Image Library
