# MEOW (0.14.1)
> **M**odeling of **E**igenmodes and **O**verlaps in **W**aveguides
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/meow-sim)
A simple electromagnetic [EigenMode Expansion (EME)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenmode_expansion) tool for Python.
## Installation
### Minimal installation
```sh
pip install meow-sim
```
### Full installation
```sh
pip install meow-sim[full]
```
This will include [gdsfactory](https://github.com/gdsfactory/gdsfactory) dependencies.
## Documentation

## Contributors
- [@flaport](https://github.com/flaport): creator of MEOW
- [@jan-david-black](https://github.com/jan-david-black): fixing mode overlaps and more
## Credits
- [Tidy3D](https://github.com/flexcompute/tidy3d): meow uses the free FDE mode solver from Tidy3D.
- [SAX](https://github.com/flaport/sax): meow uses SAX as its circuit simulator when cascading the overlap S-matrices.
- [klujax](https://github.com/flaport/sax): Although technically an optional backend for SAX, klujax will significantly speed up the final S-matrix calculation of your structures.
- [EMEPy](https://github.com/BYUCamachoLab/emepy): an excellent alternative python-based EME solver with optional neural network mode solver.
- [Rigorous and efficient modeling of wavelength scale photonic components](http://photonics.intec.ugent.be/download/phd_104.pdf): PhD thesis of Peter Bienstman.
