translight tool
Can anyone suggest to me where I can get software for photonic bandgap structure simulations?
Cheers
There are alot of them like:
1- apollo photonic
2- lumerical FDTD and lumerical mode solver
you can use optiFDTD
can use HFSS or CST or XFDTD there r plenty of them
What do you want to do? If you want to calculate photonic band diagrams, there is a free package offered by MIT that is likely the most accurate and powerful tool available. It may take you a little work to get running, however. Just go to Google and search for MIT and "photonic crystals" and it will take you there. They have a very nice website and introduction to materials.
If you want to model scattering from a photonic crystal, you may want to look at the free Translight tool. It is based on the Transfer Matrix Method. There are also plenty of good and free FDTD codes available on the internet and in various EDABoard discussions.

How to simulate the MZ modulator in the EM field?
I want to design a EM field sensor by MZ modulator.
Are you incorporating some sort of magnetostrictive film in one arm of your MZ? Can you approximate your problem as 2D? Are your materials all dielectrics? Any metals? Are the waveguides photonic crystal waveguides?

use lumerical
