Some kinds of loss, e.g. absorption loss, can be computed by  
calculating the modes of the lossless structure in MPB and then using  
perturbation theory.  Other kinds of loss, e.g. scattering from a butt- 
coupling junction between two waveguides, require a different  
computation method, e.g. they could be done using our Meep time-domain  
code.
