Although Meep supports anisotropic materials internally (they are required for its subpixel averaging technique), there is currently no interface to specify this externally; we are working on this.

I am trying to simulate light propagation in a unixial material in meep, after
having successfully been able to do this in mpb with dielectric-anisotropic:

(define mymaterial (make dielectric-anisotropic (epsilon-diag eo ee eo)))

It doesn't seem like this material-type exists in meep, though.  I have found
that the Kerr and Pockels susceptibilities can be modeled using chi2 and chi3
properties of the "dielectric" material-type, but if I just want a dielectric
tensor though, that is not dependent on the magnitude of the electric field,
then how should I do this in meep?
