This paper describes analytical results of high-T-c superconducting asymmetric coplanar strip lines using the frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain method. The propagation constants of the YBa2Cu3O7-x asymmetric coplanar strip line fabricated on the LiNbO3 substrate are reported. The effect of the SiO2 buffer layer is also investigated.

In this letter, we combine the nonorthogonal FDTD method with a perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition to analyze waveguide structures. This combination provides a very useful numerical tool for modeling complex waveguide structures. The PML absorbing boundary condition is tested by simulation of propagation in a WR-75 rectangular waveguide. It easily gives lower than -60-dB return loss in the frequency band of interest. An E-plane, U-bend waveguide transmission line is modeled to demonstrate the usefulness of this technique. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A 3D waveguide simulation technique is presented. The technique combines the finite- difference-time-domain (FDTD) and mode-propagation-by-Fourier-expansion (MPFE) methods for guided-wave device simulation. The algorithm consists of dividing the device into a series of small sections in which the FDTD method is employed to simulate for very complete wave characteristics. In particular, the wave characteristics around abrupt junctions of the device are simulated comprehensively by this algorithm. At the end of each section, the MPFE method is applied to simulate for optical modes and their profiles. These modes and profiles are used to extract mode parameters from the FDTD results for individual mode analysis. The modes and extracted parameters are further served as inputs to the next section for continued FDTD simulation. Thus, one can simulate arbitrarily shaped and optically large devices for very complete wave characteristics by using these two methods iteratively. The technique, together with well established semiconductor process and device simulators, presents a well-rounded methodology for semiconductor integrated-optic device simulation. This simulation methodology is illustrated by simulation and analysis of a variety of silicon based electro-optic modulators and branching waveguide structures.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is currently used as an optical immunassay technique for the detection of various analytes. The uniformity of the metal film and the wavefront structure of the incident beam have an effect on the sensitivity of the SPR technique, yet most analysis methods are not capable of considering inhomogeneous layers or nonplanar excitation beams. We have applied a new numerical electromagnetic method, called finite-differencetime- domain (FDTD), to this problem. To correctly model the timedomain behavior of the electron oscillations, the dynamic force equation is applied to a Drude free electron model of the metal. We have analyzed a particular SPR configuration consisting of an incident beam of finite size (approximating a focused beam) onto a smooth silver film, and have obtained Poynting vector plots and reflectivity data for this configuration. The angle and magnitude of minimum reflectivity are similar for the FDTD results compared to theoretical predictions, but the angular width of the reflectivity minimum is broadened. We have also analyzed a model of a rough metal film, and find that the local electric fields are enhanced near the metal edges.

The frequency characteristics of whole-body averaged specific absorption rates (SARs) in a human model exposed to a near field of an electric dipole or a magnetic dipole are calculated, using a finite-difference time-domain method. The dependences of the characteristics on the orientation of the dipole and on the distance from the source to the model are investigated. It is shown that the resonant peak of the SAR that appears in the E-polarized far-field exposure is observed only when the source is E-polarized and is located at 80 cm, while the peak vanishes or is not noted when the source is located at 40 cm and 20 cm nor when it is H-polarized. The relationships between the whole-body averaged SARs and the incident electromagnetic field strengths are also investigated. It is suggested that the spatially-averaged value of the dominating component between the electric field and the magnetic field over the space where a human body would occupy provides a relevant measure to estimate the whole-body averaged SAR of a body in the vicinity of a small radiation source.

Four FD-TD extensions for the modeling of pulse propagation in Debye or Lorentz dispersive media are analyzed through studying the stability and phase error properties of the coupled difference equations corresponding to Maxwell's equations and to the equations for the dispersion. For good overall accuracy we show that all schemes should be run at their Courant stability limit, and that the timestep should finely resolve the medium timescales. Particularly, for Debye schemes it should be at least DELTAt = 10-3 tau, while for Lorentz schemes it should be DELTAt = 10-2 tau, where tau is a typical medium relaxation tim A numerical experiment with a Debye medium confirms this. We have determined that two of the discretizations for Debye media are totally equivalent. In the Lorentz medium case we establish that the method that uses the polarization differential equation to model dispersion is stable for all wavenumbers, and that the method using the local-in-time constitutive relation is weakly unstable for modes with wavenumber k such that kDELTAx > pi/2.

Microwave cavity heating, drying and cooking is finding use in a variety of industrial and domestic applications. In order to gain insight into the phenomena that occur inside the microwave cavity, a detailed knowledge of electric and magnetic fields together with a prediction of the power distribution in the dielectric material is necessary. In this paper, a three-dimensional finitedifferencetimedomainmethod is employed to analyze the field in a partially loaded rectangular cavity excited from a rectangular waveguide operating in the dominant TE10 mode. Based on this method a computer algorithm for calculating the power distribution inside a lossy material in the cavity is developed. This algorithm is tested against a Field Matching method algorithm for the case of a simply (slab) loaded cavity.

For FD-TD methods we determine the spatial resolution of the discretized domain in terms of the total computation time and the desired phase error. It is shown that the spatial step should vary as DELTAx is similar to g [e(phi)/t(c)]1/s in order to maintain a prescribed phase error level e(phi) throughout the computation time t(c), where s (=2 or 4) is the spatial order of accuracy of the scheme and g is a geometric factor. Significantly, we show that the rule of thumb of using 10-20 points per wavelength to determine the spatial cell size for the standard scheme is not optimal. Our results are verified by numerical simulations in two dimensions with the Yee scheme and a new fourth-order accurate FD-TD scheme.

A CAD tool for the optical interconnects is developed and described. It is able to trace scalar or polarized electromagnetic fields propagating through complex optical waveguiding media or free space. The scattering and radiation at index discontinuities are considered and optical beams diverging from the waveguide axis may be simulated. The intra-board and inter-board optical interconnects are simulated and discussed.
