This is a Python implementation the Aperiodic-Fourier Modal Method, a fully vectorial method for solving Maxwell equations that combines a Fourier-based mode solver and a scattering matrix recursion algorithm to model full 3D structures. This approach is well suited to calculate modes, transmission, reflection, scattering and absorption of multi-layered structures. Moreover, support for Bloch modes of periodic structures allows for the simulation of photonic crystals or waveguide Bragg gratings.

As for now, the advised way of installing is to just clone the repository and add it to your PYTHONPATH environment variable.
