Meep (MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation) is a free and open-source[1] software package for electromagnetic simulations, developed by ab initio research group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006. Operating under Unix-like systems, it uses finite-difference time-domain method with perfectly matched layer or periodic boundary conditions for field computation.[2]

Meep supports dispersive, nonlinear and anisotropic media, and features subpixel smoothing and parallelization, as well as an embedded frequency-domain solver for steady-state fields and eigenmode expansion.[2] The package was subsequently expanded to include an adjoint solver for topology optimization and inverse design,[3] and a Python interface.[4]

The software is widely adopted by optics and photonics communities,[5] with applications including the analysis and design of metalenses[6][7] and photonic crystals.[8][9]
