Today's telecommunications infrastructure is increasingly reliant upon complex material interactions with the electromagnetic field.For instance, effects such as dispersion, in which a material's response to an applied field depends on its frequency, and nonlinearity, where the response is a complex function of field strength, form the cornerstones of fields such as nonlinear fibre optics.In consequence, efficient, accurate, and reliable numerical simulation tools capable of modeling these compl
