  Nanobem is a Matlab toolbox for the solution of Maxwell's equations for
nanophotonic systems and the computation of resonance modes, sometimes also
referred to as quasinormal modes or resonance states. It is based on a Galerkin
scheme for the boundary element method, using Raviart-Thomas shape elements for
the representation of the tangential electromagnetic fields at the particle
boundary. The toolbox is written in an object-oriented manner with the focus on
clarity rather than speed, and has been developed and tested for small to
intermediate problems with a few thousand boundary elements. The computation of
the resonance modes uses the contour integral method of Beyn.
