As a clarification, we should note that Scheme control (ctl) files, written by the user (i.e. not containing code distributed with MIT Photonic-Bands) and loaded at runtime by the MIT Photonic-Bands software, are not considered derived works of MIT Photonic-Bands and do not fall thereby under the restrictions of the GNU General Public License.

Referencing

We kindly ask you to reference the MIT Photonic-Bands package and its authors in any publication for which you used MPB. (You are not legally required to do so; it is up to your common sense to decide whether you want to comply with this request or not.)

The preferred citation for MPB is our paper on MPB and related topics:

Or, in BibTeX format:

@Article{Johnson2001:mpb,
  author =       {Johnson, Steven~G. and Joannopoulos, J.~D.},
  title =        {Block-iterative frequency-domain methods for Maxwell's equations in a planewave basis},
  journal =      {Opt. Express},
  year =         2001,
  volume =       8,
  number =       3,
  pages =        {173--190},
  url =  {http://www.opticsexpress.org/abstract.cfm?URI=OPEX-8-3-173 }
}

If you want a one-sentence description of the algorithm for inclusion in a publication, we recommend:

Fully-vectorial eigenmodes of Maxwell's equations with periodic boundary conditions were computed by preconditioned conjugate-gradient minimization of the block Rayleigh quotient in a planewave basis, using a freely available software package [ref].
