Hi. I am a graduate student in physics, and I currently have a project for my nonlinear optics class that involves basic modeling of photonic band gap structures. I am using Mathematica for this project, and I am at a loss about how to begin. I have the book _Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light_ by Joannopoulos et. al. (wonderful book, by the way) but it does not go into detail about modeling. It refers some sources, but these are maybe over my head a bit. I would be interested in seeing some source code (Mathematica, C/++, etc.) or maybe a basic overview of the modeling of photonic band gaps. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gary Russell
