<br />
Welcome to the manual for the [http://ab-initio.mit.edu/mpb/ MIT Photonic-Bands] (MPB) package, a program for computing band structures (dispersion relations) of optical systems. MPB was developed by [http://math.mit.edu/~stevenj Steven G. Johnson] of MIT Applied Mathematics, in collaboration with the Joannopoulos [http://ab-initio.mit.edu/ Ab Initio Physics Group] in the Condensed Matter Theory division of the [http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/org/p/physics/www/physics.html MIT Physics Department].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
This documentation is divided into the following sections:<br />
<br />
* [[MPB Introduction]]: The introductory section describes the motivation, history, and high-level structure of this package. <br />
* [[MPB Installation]]: How to install and compile MPB, including descriptions of and links to software you must first download and install from other sources.<br />
* [[MPB User Tutorial]]: In this section, we introduce the use of MPB to compute a photonic band structure. A simple tutorial illustrates how the basic features are used to solve for the modes of example structures. <br />
* [[MPB Data Analysis Tutorial]]: Here, we walk through how you might analyze and visualize the results from a couple of typical MPB calculations. Includes some pretty pictures for those who don't like to read.<br />
* [[MPB User Reference]]: A compact listing of the various functions and features provided by the user interface.<br />
* [[MPB Developer Information]]: In this section, we outline some of the internal structure and algorithms used in Photonic-Bands, as an aid to outside developers wishing to add new features and bugs.<br />
* [[MPB Acknowledgements]]: A project of this size could never be completed without the support of many others, to whom we are very grateful. </nowiki><br />
* [[MPB License and Copyright]]: MIT Photonic Bands is free software under the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public License] (GNU [[w:GPL|GPL]]). Also see this section for referencing information. <br />
