The short path propagation of an electromagnetic pulse generated numerically from a wideband conical monopole antenna through reinforced concrete wall of buildings has been studied in the time-domain using the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. Computational results demonstrated the effects of the reinforced concrete wall on pulse signal propagation including the pulse waveform distortion made of transmitting antenna, field distribution when pulse propagating through wall, reflection of pulse peak and pulse waveform reflected from and transmitted through reinforced concrete wall.

An efficient finite-difference time-domain method is proposed for the full-wave analysis of guided modes in photonic crystal fibers. The three-dimensional hybrid guided modes can be calculated by a two-dimensional mesh, if one assumes that the propagation constant along the z-direction (propagation direction) is fixed. Furthermore, only real variables are used in the present method. Therefore, the computation time and computer memory are significantly reduced. The results for a honeycomb-based silica-air photonic crystal fiber are in very good agreement with the results from the plane-wave expansion method. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Light wave propagation within complex liquid crystal structures is undertaken by the FDTD method, a purely numerical method that explicitly solves Maxwell's equations in space and time. A specific FDTD arrangement suitable for liquid crystal applications is described, allowing for efficient space termination, oblique angles of illumination, and correct phasor representation. Two application examples are considered: a two-domain twisted pixel formed by two oppositely twisted sub-domains, and a helical ferroelectric liquid crystal material. In each case comparison is also made with the optical prediction obtained by the Berreman method.

When lightning strikes bulk transmission lines or electric substations, large currents flow through towers or in substations and equipment structures before dissipating in the ground through the grounding systems. The electromagnetic fields generated by such lightning surges cause large currents and voltages, which may result in damage to equipment and serious accidents, such as failure of electrical transmission, and furthermore may be dangerous to personnel working nearby. Moreover, the immunity level of recent electronic equipment that contains semiconductors and LSI devices is low, and such equipment is sensitive to various types of electromagnetic stimuli. Therefore, it is important to analyze the transient behavior of grounding systems of power systems in order to study lightning protection and improve human safety. However. the transient behavior of grounding systems has so far been difficult to evaluate. In this paper, we propose a novel method in which the transient behavior is analyzed based on the finite-difference time-domain method, and confirm its validity through comparison between experimental results of the transient behavior and analytical results.

We present a new approach for analyzing band structures in one-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals. It combines the finite-difference time-domain method, based on the numerical simulation of oscillating dipole radiation, with the Kerr-nonlinear model. The approach is applied to analyze the band structures in Kerr-nonlinear one-dimensional photonic crystals as a function of the intensity of the oscillating dipole. We find that these bands are dynamically red-shifted with regard to the bands in linear one-dimensional photonic crystals. The proposed approach will help to understand such phenomena as intensity-driven optical limiting and all-optical switching with Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Fresnel Zone Plate Lenses (FZPLs) have been successfully coupled to infrared (IR) antennas producing a responsivity enhancement of about two orders of magnitude. However, their lateral extension may compromise their applicability in focal-plane-arrays (FPA) IR imagers, where the dimensions of the pixel are constrained by the FPA spacing. When designing optimum-gain FZPLs for FPAs, we are lead to the requirement of FZPLs operating at very low F/#s (marginal rays propagating at a large angle in image space). In this case, finite-differencetime-domain techniques (FDTD) are used to refine the physical-optics modelling results, producing a result closer to the actual case encountered in a high-fill-factor FPA. In this contribution, we analyze the FZPL designs by using FDTD techniques. The main result of the FDTD computation is the gain factor defined as the ratio of the response of the IR antennas coupled with the FZPL, compared to the same antennas without the FZPL.

As a method of analyzing the nonlinear propagation of light, the Sellmeier equation for fused silica with three resonant frequencies is used and a finite-difference time-domain method taking the Raman response into account is proposed. The numerical results are compared with experimental results for optical pulses with a pulse width of 12 fs passing through a fused silica fiber. By this method of analysis, the numerical results are compared with those obtained by the conventional split-step Fourier method and it is found that these results are closer to the experimental results.

In this communication, we present all improvement technique for the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method, in which an accurate solution call be achieved using a very coarse mesh if a weighted factor of the simulated PEC object dimension is properly selected. A uniform microwave stripline is used to validate the proposed scheme. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In order to determine the assembling error at the receiving plane and to obtain the maximum energy efficiency, it is necessary to study the axial focusing characteristics of diffractive micro-lenses such as the focal depth and the focal shift. When the diffractive optical elements' features are of the order of or smaller than the wavelength of the incident illumination, their electromagnetic characteristics must be considered. By using a two-dimensional finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method, we present a rigorous electromagnetic analysis of diffractive micro-lenses that are finite in extent, in the case of a normally incident light wave. Compared with the scalar theory, the axial intensity distributions of diffractive micro-lenses are analysed rigorously, for different incidence polarizations (TE polarization and TM polarization), different profile structures (continuous profile, 16-level profile, 8-level profile, and 2-level profile) and different f-numbers of lenses. The numerical results show that the focal shifts calculated by the electromagnetic theory are larger than those made by the scalar theory, and the focal depths calculated by these two methods are basically consistent. The focal depth and the focal shift will increase when the f-number increases, for both the rigorous electromagnetic theory and the scalar theory.
