From 63357f44a0f37088976c412ff85abcf5db7cfe71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luochenghuang Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:22:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Skip MPB for planewave eigenmodes in homogeneous media MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When computing diffraction efficiencies via DiffractedPlanewave in get_eigenmode_coefficients, auto-detect if the flux monitor is in a spatially homogeneous medium (by sampling epsilon/mu at the center and edges of the monitor plane). If so, bypass MPB entirely and compute the planewave eigenmode fields analytically. For homogeneous media the propagating modes are planewaves with analytically known k-vectors (from the dispersion relation k_perp = sqrt(n²ω² - k_parallel²)) and polarization vectors (from the s/p decomposition relative to the plane of incidence). Computing the mode coefficients then reduces to a discrete Fourier transform of the DFT-accumulated monitor fields at these known k-vectors, which is what the overlap integral machinery already does when eigenmode_amplitude returns the analytical exp(ik·r) planewave. This eliminates the need to create maxwell_data (epsilon grid), call the MPB eigensolver or maxwell_set_planewave, perform FFT-based field computation, and do trilinear interpolation — all of which are unnecessary when the mode fields are known analytically. The implementation: - is_homogeneous_on_monitor: samples eps/mu at center + edges - get_eigenmode_planewave: computes k, vg, E0, H0 analytically - eigenmode_amplitude: fast path returns E0/H0 * exp(ik·r) directly - get_eigenmode_coefficients: uses analytical path when dp != NULL and medium is homogeneous; falls back to MPB otherwise Ref: NanoComp/meep#291 --- src/meep.hpp | 7 ++ src/mpb.cpp | 277 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 266 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/meep.hpp b/src/meep.hpp index 5eb739053..9b3322cf8 100644 --- a/src/meep.hpp +++ b/src/meep.hpp @@ -1945,6 +1945,13 @@ class fields { double eigensolver_tol, std::complex amp, std::complex A(const vec &) = 0, diffractedplanewave *dp = 0); + // Analytical planewave eigenmode for homogeneous media (bypasses MPB). + void *get_eigenmode_planewave(double frequency, direction d, const volume &where, + const volume &eig_vol, diffractedplanewave *dp, double eps, + double mu, double *kdom); + bool is_homogeneous_on_monitor(const volume &where, double frequency, double *eps_out, + double *mu_out) const; + void get_eigenmode_coefficients(dft_flux flux, const volume &eig_vol, int *bands, int num_bands, int parity, double eig_resolution, double eigensolver_tol, std::complex *coeffs, double *vgrp, diff --git a/src/mpb.cpp b/src/mpb.cpp index de7568758..aab16b1e2 100644 --- a/src/mpb.cpp +++ b/src/mpb.cpp @@ -149,6 +149,10 @@ typedef struct eigenmode_data { int band_num; double frequency; double group_velocity; + // Analytical planewave fields (used when is_analytical is true, mdata is NULL) + bool is_analytical; + complex E0[3]; // E-field polarization amplitude (Cartesian) + complex H0[3]; // H-field polarization amplitude (Cartesian) } eigenmode_data; #define TWOPI 6.2831853071795864769252867665590057683943388 @@ -166,7 +170,27 @@ static int pmod(int n, int modulus) { /*******************************************************************/ complex eigenmode_amplitude(void *vedata, const vec &p, component c) { eigenmode_data *edata = (eigenmode_data *)vedata; - if (!edata || !(edata->mdata)) meep::abort("%s:%i: internal error", __FILE__, __LINE__); + if (!edata) meep::abort("%s:%i: internal error", __FILE__, __LINE__); + + // Fast path for analytical planewave in homogeneous medium: skip MPB interpolation + if (edata->is_analytical) { + complex amplitude; + switch (c) { + case Ex: amplitude = edata->E0[0]; break; + case Ey: amplitude = edata->E0[1]; break; + case Ez: amplitude = edata->E0[2]; break; + case Hx: amplitude = edata->H0[0]; break; + case Hy: amplitude = edata->H0[1]; break; + case Hz: amplitude = edata->H0[2]; break; + default: meep::abort("invalid component in eigenmode_amplitude"); + } + vec p0(p - edata->center); + double phase = 0; + LOOP_OVER_DIRECTIONS(p.dim, d) { phase += edata->Gk[d % 3] * p0.in_direction(d); } + return amplitude * edata->amp_func(p) * std::polar(1.0, TWOPI * phase); + } + + if (!(edata->mdata)) meep::abort("%s:%i: internal error", __FILE__, __LINE__); int *n = edata->n; double *s = edata->s; @@ -798,6 +822,7 @@ void *fields::get_eigenmode(double frequency, direction d, const volume where, c edata->band_num = band_num; edata->frequency = frequency; edata->group_velocity = (double)vgrp; + edata->is_analytical = false; if (kdom) { #if MPB_VERSION_MAJOR > 1 || (MPB_VERSION_MAJOR == 1 && MPB_VERSION_MINOR >= 7) @@ -816,6 +841,10 @@ void *fields::get_eigenmode(double frequency, direction d, const volume where, c void destroy_eigenmode_data(void *vedata, bool destroy_mdata) { adjust_mpb_verbosity amv; eigenmode_data *edata = (eigenmode_data *)vedata; + if (edata->is_analytical) { + delete edata; + return; + } destroy_evectmatrix(edata->H); if (destroy_mdata) destroy_maxwell_data(edata->mdata); free(edata->fft_data_E); @@ -913,6 +942,196 @@ void fields::add_eigenmode_source(component c0, const src_time &src, direction d destroy_eigenmode_data((void *)global_eigenmode_data); } +/***************************************************************/ +/* Analytical planewave eigenmode for homogeneous media. */ +/* Bypasses MPB entirely by computing E and H fields directly */ +/* from the dispersion relation and polarization vectors. */ +/***************************************************************/ +static void cross3(double out[3], const double a[3], const double b[3]) { + out[0] = a[1] * b[2] - a[2] * b[1]; + out[1] = a[2] * b[0] - a[0] * b[2]; + out[2] = a[0] * b[1] - a[1] * b[0]; +} + +static void cross3c(complex out[3], const double a[3], const complex b[3]) { + out[0] = a[1] * b[2] - a[2] * b[1]; + out[1] = a[2] * b[0] - a[0] * b[2]; + out[2] = a[0] * b[1] - a[1] * b[0]; +} + +static double norm3(const double v[3]) { return sqrt(v[0] * v[0] + v[1] * v[1] + v[2] * v[2]); } + +/* Check whether the medium is spatially homogeneous on the flux monitor plane + by sampling epsilon and mu at the center and edges.
