Optical Black Hole

This repository contains code and resources related to a project for PHY_51171_EP - Numerical Physics at Ecole Polytechnique. The project focuses on simulating and analyzing the properties of optical black holes using numerical methods.

Project Structure

• design/: Contains Jupyter notebooks and scripts for designing and simulating the optical black hole.

  • raytracing.ipynb: Notebook for ray tracing simulations around the optical black hole.
  • FDFD.ipynb: Notebook implementing the Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain (FDFD) method for simulating wave propagation.
  • FDFD_convergence.ipynb: Notebook analyzing the convergence of the FDFD method.

• production/: Contains scripts and resources for the production phase of the optical black hole project.

  • FDFD_simulation.py: Python script for running FDFD simulations. To run the simulation, use the command:

  python FDFD_simulation.py

  Then one can choose parameters for the simulation in the terminal prompt.

  • plotting.py: Python script for generating plots from simulation data.
