The best paper publication to cite for Meep is our paper on the subpixel dielectric averaging, novel to Meep, which improves the accuracy of FDTD when modelling sharp interfaces:

• Ardavan Farjadpour, David Roundy, Alejandro Rodriguez, Mihai Ibanescu, Peter Bermel, J. D. Joannopoulos, Steven G. Johnson, and Geoffrey Burr, "Improving accuracy by subpixel smoothing in FDTD," Optics Letters, in press (2006).

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

Simulations were performed with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method [ref FDTD], using a freely available software package with subpixel smoothing for increased accuracy [ref Meep].

where as a general reference on the FDTD method you might use, for example, Allen Taflove and Susan C. Hagness, Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method (Artech: Norwood, MA, 2000).

If you use the harminv feature to extract resonant-mode frequencies and/or decay rates, then you probably want to also cite the "filter diagonalization method" used by harminv: V. A. Mandelshtam and H. S. Taylor, "Harmonic inversion of time signals," J. Chem. Phys. 107 (17), 6756-6769 (1997). Erratum, ibid. 109 (10), 4128 (1998).
