A trapezoidal recursive convolution (TRC) technique is one of the simple ways to incorporate dispersive models into the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. The authors newly develop the TRC-FDTD method for the analysis of arbitrary-shaped dispersive materials using a dispersive contour-path algorithm. The accuracy of the present method is found to be the same as that using the Z-transform technique with reduced computational requirements.

In this study, we analyze full photonic band gap formation and properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals with square lattice, composed of anisotropic tellurium rods with different geometric shapes in a plasma background. Using the finite-difference time-domain method, we discuss the tunability of the full photonic band gap width as a function of the plasma frequency for different values of tellurium rod's parameters. The calculated results show that our proposed structures represent full photonic band gaps with considerable width, which are dependent on plasma frequency.

We propose and numerically investigate a near-infrared surface plasmon resonance-based refractive index sensor having in unison an extremely high sensitivity (1719 nm/RIU) and transmission efficiency (91.73%) with a high figure of merit (39.81). The proposed sensor structure, consisting of a 1D metallo-dielectric grating of silver and rectangular-shaped silver nano-slabs in a metal-insulator-metal configuration, excites both propagating surface plasmon polaritons and localized surface plasmon polaritons producing highly improved spectral response. Using the finite-differencetime-domain computation method, the spectral characteristics were analyzed and some important sensing performances, such as sensitivity, transmission efficiency, full-width at half-maximum, and figure of merit, were optimized through numerical simulations as a function of the shape and size of the nanostructures. As a specific application, the proposed structure was also investigated for temperature sensing application and its temperature sensitivity is found to be much better than the state-of-the-art. The proposed sensor structure may have monumental applications in such areas as biomedical and environmental sensing applications and photonic integrated circuits.

Plasmonic crystals are well known to have band structure including a band gap, enabling the control of surface plasmon propagation and confinement. The band dispersion relation of bulk crystals has been generally measured by momentum-resolved spectroscopy using far field optical techniques while the defects introduced in the crystals have separately been investigated by near field imaging techniques so far. Particularly, defect related energy levels introduced in the plasmonic band gap have not been observed experimentally. In order to investigate such a localized mode, we performed electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) on a point defect introduced in a plasmonic crystal made up of flat cylinders protruding out of a metal film and arranged on a triangular lattice. The energy level of the defect mode was observed to lie within the full band-gap energy range. This was confirmed by a momentum-resolved EELS measurement of the band gap performed on the same plasmonic crystal. Furthermore, we experimentally and theoretically investigated the emergence of the defect states by starting with a corral of flat cylinders protrusions and adding sequentially additional shells of those in order to eventually form a plasmonic band-gap crystal encompassing a single point defect. It is demonstrated that a defectlike state already forms with a crystal made up of only two shells.

A novel design of a silicon-on-insulator (SOD-based resonator based on slot micro-ring and Bragg gratings is presented. The corrugated Bragg gratings are structured on both sides of slot micro-ring waveguides. The variation of the effective refractive index is detected by monitoring the shift of the spectral of the resonator. The transmission spectrum and field distribution of the sensor structures are simulated using finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. With the combination of the Bragg gratings, the measurement range of the sensor significantly increases without the restriction of a free spectral range (FSR). Our proposed sensor design provides a promising candidate for on-chip integration with other silicon photonic element.

Lightning protection is an important factor in the design of nuclear power plants, for example, to protect power equipment and sensitive electronic devices and guarantee human safety. To design effective protection measures, it is useful to predict lightning surge phenomena and evaluate the effectiveness of the protection measures. Recently, the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method, which solves Maxwell's equations directly and does not require the assumption of a transverse electromagnetic mode, has been an effective tool for analyzing electromagnetic transient phenomena in three-dimensional or grounding structures. In this study, we model buildings and groundings of a nuclear power plant using an FDTD-based surge simulation code, study the ground potential rises of a nuclear power plant, step voltages around the reactor building, and the transient responses of grounding buses drawn into the auxiliary building and the metal sheaths of coaxial cables in the case of a direct lightning strike to the lightning protection system (LPS) of the reactor or turbine building, and study the effect of the configuration of the LPS.

In this letter, a frequency drift phenomenon is simulated, when the electromagnetic wave is created in 1D metal cavity, by the modified JEC-FDTD method. By using the method, its resonant frequency of metal cavity is obtained under the conditions of the time varied plasma. The results show that the faster the plasma is generated, the more obviously the frequency drift phenomenon.

This paper addresses efficient finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) modeling of transient interactions of complex electronic systems with electrostatic discharge occurred at a short air gap. A partially implicit FDTD scheme with the nonlinear spark resistance model by Rompe and Weizel is applied to a realistic personal computer model. Its efficiency and accuracy are assessed in comparison with Yee's FDTD method.

An enhanced FDTD algorithm is proposed for simulating the electromagnetic interactions of light with gain medium characterized by a semi-quantum system of 6 discrete energy-levels. The whole system then consists of 3 quantum-mechanics-corrected dipole oscillators coupled with a set of appropriate rate equations allowing efficient simulations without complex quantum-mechanics calculations.
