Abstract

The S-matrix algorithm for the propagation of an electromagnetic wave through planar stratified media has been implemented in a modern object-oriented programing language. This implementation is suitable for the study of such applications as the Anderson localization of light and super-resolution (perfect lensing). For our open-source code to be as useful as possible to the scientific community, we paid particular attention to the pathological cases that arise in the limit of vanishing absorption.
