Bloch magnetic materials

Bloch state vectors store the transverse Fourier coefficients of magnetic flux B = mu * H. They equal H when permeability is omitted. Pass the same mu to bloch.hmn_2_hxyz(...) and bloch.hmn_2_exyz(...) when converting solved vectors to fields. The eigensolver uses the projected mu**-1 energy metric for finite positive real permeability, including anisotropic and spatially varying profiles. Its preconditioner remains finite at the Gamma point.

Far-field normalization

The near-to-far transform includes the cell area dx * dy, so normalized far-field amplitudes describe a Fourier integral and converge under spatial refinement. This changes amplitudes previously returned as unweighted FFT sums. The inverse applies the matching Fourier quadrature and returns spacings for the requested output shape. Both transforms center their origins at index size // 2; padding and cropping preserve that sample. The inverse does not modify input spectra.

SCPML conventions

stretch_with_scpml now uses -1 for the low-index face and +1 for the high-index face, matching CPML and propagation conventions. It returns copied widths by default; pass copy=False to request mutation explicitly.

Both SCPML builders accept kappa_function(depth) for real stretching and max_imag_ratio to limit the final dimensionless abs(Im(s))/Re(s). Start a mode-solver convergence study with max_imag_ratio=1.0: overly strong imaginary stretching can produce above-light-line PML artifacts. The cap is not a general spectral guarantee, and weaker absorption can increase boundary reflections. Check domain size, PML thickness, strength, mode localization, and residuals. The general scattering profile remains uncapped by default.

uniform_grid_scpml builds unit widths by applying stretch_with_scpml to both faces of each enabled axis. Both builders divide imaginary grading by physical layer thickness and sample electric widths at cell centers and magnetic widths at cell edges. This corrects the uniform builder's previous thickness-independent strength and reversed E/H sample offsets; retune existing uniform-builder profiles using domain/PML convergence checks.
