This study focuses on evanescent fields induced by silver nanoparticles in the mask layer and in the interfaces in an AgOx-type super-resolution near-field structure (super-RENS). The finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method is used to analyze the scattering fields from the localized surface plasmons of silver nanoparticles. It has been found that the spatial extension of the evanescent field is very short along the thickness direction of the layers, and the 3-dimensional coupling patterns of the evanescent fields from the individual particles are irregular. The study also found that the intensity of the evanescent fields is dependent on the silver concentration.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The potential for developing higher-order finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) schemes with reduced phase errors is investigated in the present paper. Using the classic (2,4) FDTD method as the basis of this study, electromagnetic wave propagation is accurately reproduced in the discretized space by replacing isotropic materials with modified, anisotropic in general, ones. The use of such artificial materials improves the simulation's precision significantly around a specific frequency, yet the overall error remains small at a considerably wide bandwidth;therefore, this algorithm can be useful for wideband problems as well. Additionally, it is shown that an even better single-frequency performance can be attained, when the modified materials are combined with systematically calculated spatial operators. Pursuing a more wideband enhancement of the (2,4) technique, a version realizing more accurate results at almost all frequencies that can be coupled in a staggered grid is derived. Furthermore, novel spatial operators are introduced, with the distinct feature of using extended stencils in more than one directions. It turns out that when such operators are incorporated, a scheme that combines the aforementioned features can be obtained. The theoretical findings of this investigation are verified in a sequence of numerical tests, involving free-space and guided-wave propagation, as well as the determination of a cavity's resonant frequencies.

Four algorithms are developed to help the dosimetry study for experiments on millimeter-wave (MMW) biological effects on cells in vitro with the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. Their performances in evaluating the MMW irradiation dose are displayed and compared, including the induced current density and the specific absorption rate (SAR), that are distributed over the cell monolayer cultured in Petri dish. With the discussion on individual characteristics of the algorithms, the conclusion is reached that an appropriate algorithm is essential in providing accurate data on the MMW irradiation dose by way of numerical calculation, which should be considered carefully in related experiments.
