Template:Citing Meep

From AbInitio

We currently have no paper publication on Meep, so you should simply reference the web site:

• D. Roundy, M. Ibanescu, P. Bermel, A. Farjadpour, J. D. Joannopoulos, and S. G. Johnson, The Meep FDTD package, http://ab-initio.mit.edu/meep/

Or, in BibTeX format:

@Misc{Meep:web,
  author =       {David Roundy, Mihah Ibanescu, Peter Bermel, Ardavan Farjadpour, J. D. Joannopoulos, and Steven G. Johnson},
  title =        {The {Meep} {FDTD} package},
  howpublished = {{\ttfamily http://ab-initio.mit.edu/meep}},
  year =         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 [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).
