Abstract

This program computes the following optical properties of a single nanowire with up to 2 shell layers using Mie-formalism:
1) LDOS and Purcell Factor along the nanowire radius
2) Purcell Factor of selected nanowire layer(s) over wavelength
3) 2D Purcell Factor contour plot for varying core radius and shell thickness

Assumptions:
1) Nanowires are infinitely long which is valid as long as the nanowire length is > 10*diameter.
