Welcome to PyRCWA’s documentation!

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) is a semi-analytical method in computational electromagnetics that is most typically applied to solve scattering from periodic dielectric structures. It is a Fourier-space method so devices and fields are represented as a sum of spatial harmonics.

Vision

The vision of PyRCWA is to be a high-performance numerical simulation tool that can be used to solve electromagnetic field propagation in multi-layered periodic structures with complex material systems.
