Plasmonics and nonlinear optics

Dear all,

I just found out about this project and I was wondering if it is suitable for the solution of plasmonic and nonlinear optics problems.

If yes, are there any relevant examples?

In more detail I would be interested to model the nonlinear response of a graphene plasmonic resonator (like a nanoribbon).

Thank you very much

The FEniCS project comprises a number of tools facilitating the computation of finite element based discretisations of partial differential equations. It does not limit the user to a subset of physics and engineering problems.

This generalisation is a blessing and a curse: the user has full control over the underlying numerical method, at the cost of no “black box” solution. The user must have a good foundation in the mathematics of numerical and variational methods.

You can find a number of documented and undocumented examples in the DOLFIN demos.

Thank you, I understand that this can be very flexible and of course challenging at the same time. But it should also be a useful learning experience.

I will try to find some relevant examples. If any users have tried something similar in the past I would be very glad to see some examples (for example using Maxwell equations to solve some kind of nanophotonics problem).

Best wishes
Nikolaos
