7. Glossary
anisotropic :
Refers to a medium with different properties in different directions in space.
bi-anisotropic :
Refers to a medium in which the fields D and B both depend on the two fields E and H. In natural environments, D depends only on E, and B only on H.
chirality (parameter of) :
Coefficient linking D to H and B to E (in chiral or bi-anisotropic media).
refractive index (of a medium): ratio between electromagnetic wave velocities in a vacuum and in the medium under consideration.
isotropic :
Refers to a medium with the same properties in all directions in space.
monochromatic (wave) :
A wave with a single frequency, as opposed to polychromatic...

Software tools (non-exhaustive list)
There are several software tools available for solving Maxwell's equations, either general numerical calculation software (Matlab, Scilab, Octave...), or more specialized software (Ansys, Comsol, CST, Quickfield...). Some are chargeable, others are available free of charge.
However, some of these products have free student versions.
