# REMSOL

## Overview

REMSOL (Rust-based Electromagnetic Multi-layer Solver) is a software package for finding electromagnetic modes in multi-layered media. It is written in Rust and implements both the scattering and transfer matrix method.

## Installation

For now, the package is not available on PyPI, so you will have to build it from source.

In orger to build the package, you will need:

- Rust (check [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)).
- UV ([docs.astral.sh](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)).

after cloning the repository, build the package using uv with:

```bash
uv build
```

this will create a `.tar.gz` and a `.whl` file in the `dist` directory. You can install the package using pip:

```bash
pip install dist/<your-whl-file>.whl
```

and enjoy!

## How to use it

Check the examples in the [Documentation](https://mpasson.github.io/REMSOL/intro.html).
