wavesolve

wavesolve is a lightweight Python code to solve for the eigenmodes of waveguides. It can solve for both scalar and vector modes. It uses the finite element method, and generates waveguide meshes through the pygmsh package. More details on the math behind wavesolve are included here.

installation
