The Source-Model Technique Package

The Source-Model Technique Package (SMTP) is a free MATLAB 7.x toolbox for modal analysis of optical waveguides, based on the Source-Model Technique. It was developed by Amit Hochman during the course of graduate studies with
Prof. Yehuda Leviatan at the EE Dept.,
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.

Features:

	The SMTP uses a fully vectorial integral-equation method.
	It can handle high index contrasts and dispersive media. Permittivity models for Silica and noble metals are included.
	It can handle arbitrary (but smooth) geometries.
	It has a Graphical User Interface (screen shot).
	It accepts a binary image of cross-section as input. Alternatively, the input can be defined by Matlab code.

Requirements:

Matlab 7.x with the 'spline' and 'image processing' toolboxes installed.

What's New
