Appendix I: Source Code Links

Our source files consisted of Matlab scripts and OptiFDTD files. The Matlab script that calls the frequency-domain simulation is listed below. The simulation itself, however, was designed by Dr. Peter Catrysse and is not posted here.

Appendix III: Work Sharing

The main division of labor on this project was between OptiFDTD validation and MATLAB optimization. Manu worked with the OptiFDTD software to validate the Matlab model. Tali and Camille used Matlab scripts to experiment with different wire arrangements, and generated the data for various arrangements. Putting together the presentation was distributed equally among all three members. For the write-up, Tali wrote the section on off-axis optimization and the conclusion, Manu wrote the introduction, background, and validation sections, and Camille wrote the sections on Matlab simulation, pixel efficacy, and the data for on-axis cases. Manu used Macromedia's Dreamweaver to create this website.
