Calculate the electromagnetic eigenmodes and propagation constants of optical waveguides using the finite difference method. Features:
1. Includes vector, semivector, and scalar versions.
2. Can solve for all components of E and H.
3. Allows for perfectly-matched boundary layers.
4. Can model transverse anisotropic materials.
5. Several examples included

2.0.0

Updated to version 2.0.0. Source code now hosted on github

1.2.0.0

Corrected bug in stretchmesh routine for south and west boundaries. Also corrected a bug in wgmodes and svmodes in which dy was incorrected conjugated.

(Thanks to Jiri Petracek for discovering this bug.)

1.1.0.0

Minor modifications in the examples, and contour plotting subroutine.

1.0.0.0

Corrected an algebraic error in the expressions for the coefficients Axy(E), Axy(W), Axy(N) and Axy(S). Many thanks to yuchunlu_china@hotmail.com for pointing out this bug.
