A method for the FDTD analysis of quasi-optical MESFET arrays is presented in this paper. To analyze active devices such as MESFETs, this method creates a set of field-state central finitedifference equations;and all the field and state variables are solved simultaneously at the same FDTD time step. It will be shown in this paper that this formulation is simple and straightforward. The analysis of quasi-optical MESFET oscillator arrays have been performed to show the application of this method. Excellent agreements have been obtained between the results from this simulation method, from commercial softwares, and from experimental measurements to show the validity of this method.

In the development of nonlinear optical switching mechanisms, it would be very desirable to have a computer simulation of the electromagnetic pulse propagating in the nonlinear fiber. This would be helpful in understanding the underlying electromagnetics, and would also be helpful in designing new switching configurations, One method which has been widely used in electromagnetic simulation is the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. Its effectiveness in optical fiber simulation is restricted by the fact that the short wavelengths of light dictate dense sampling, which becomes a logistical problem in three dimensional simulation. Techniques are described which allow 3D simulation of small sections of nonlinear optical fibers. The results of these simulations are used to predict behavior over longer distances.

Nowaday, it becomes necessary to characterize materials on a very large bandwidth for frequencies up to 100 GHz. Photoconducting microdipole antenna benches have already shown their ability to answer such a problem. Before the realization of such benches, a theoretical design of the antennas is necessary for the prediction of their behaviour (transient radiated free field duration, frequency bandwidth.,,). For this reason, we propose in this paper, a theoretical approach based on the coupling of different tools : the finitedifferencetimedomainmethod (FDTD), a drift diffusion model for considering photoconducting materials and the geometrical optic for the lens modeling. After the description of the software, some results will give the capabilities of such an approach.

A quasi-optical diode-grid frequency tripler array was analyzed by the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method in this paper. A nonlinear algorithm was successfully developed in order to deal with the nonlinear characteristic of a varactor. The results obtained for a test case showed excellent agreement between the FDTD and a direct mathematical method. The detailed analysis of a frequency tripler array employing back-to-back AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction varactor was given.

In the analysis of antennas and scattering problems by the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method, the dimensions of the problem space are primarily determined by the quality of the radiation boundary condition (RBC) that is used to truncate the computational grid. The performance of the recently proposed higher-order boundary conditions in cases of practical importance is often worse than the standard Mur-second-order condition. In the present article we will show that the reason for this unexpected result is the inability of this type of one-way wave equation to deal with the evanescent or inhomogeneous plane-wave part of the field. On the basis of this consideration we have constructed a new semiglobal operator that does have the required property. By combining this operator with the unusual Mur-second-order condition one arrives at an RBC with a much better performance. The novel RBC can also be used to analyze static problems.
