Abstract

This is a script editor and output visualizer for S4.

S4 (or simply S4) stands for Stanford Stratified Structure Solver, a frequency domain code to solve the linear Maxwell’s equations in layered periodic structures. Internally, it uses Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA; also called the Fourier Modal Method (FMM)) and the S-matrix algorithm. The program is implemented using a Lua frontend, or alternatively, as a Python extension. S4 was developed by Victor Liu of the Fan Group in the Stanford Electrical Engineering Department.
