Recently, various researches on optical recording based on near-field optical principles have been conducted for higher data storage density. However, there is a problem of the trade-off between signal output and spatial resolution, especially when an aperture-type near-field optical head is utilized for high speed data-readout. In order to solve this problem, we propose a novel near-field optical head, the planar aperture-mounted head with a minute scatterer. and analyze its read-out performance through the three-dimensional finite-differencetime-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Our simulations reveal that the Silver scatterer placed at the center of the planar aperture strongly enhances optical energy due to the local surface plasmon excitation, and that this head has the potential to realize high resolution and high signal output simultaneously.

The finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) field simulations have been employed to visualize standing-wave patterns in single-layer, rectangular, planar capacitors and capacitor chips. These patterns are used for the analysis of the resonant mode types, and for the determination of the resonance frequencies. The results of simulation are experimentally verified by measuring the S-parameter spectra. In addition, we show that the dimensions of the capacitor plates can be optimized in order to maximize the first resonant frequency of the capacitor, rendering it useful for high-frequency applications.

We have numerically calculated attenuated total reflection (ATR) signals due to two-dimensionally ordered (2D) spheres on a glass substrate for both TE- and TM-polarized incident light beams using a finitedifferencetime-domainmethod. The calculated ATR spectra are in good agreement with the experimental ones reported previously by Lis. From the ATR spectra and the spatial distribution of light intensity, it has been found that the ATR dips are due to the excitation of the optical modes in the 2D spheres. The propagation length of the optical modes is confirmed to be comparable to the diameter of the sphere. It indicates that the optical modes propagate in a variety of fashions and the light intensity in the 2D spheres takes a maximum value at the contact points between the spheres.

This paper shows how the dielectric constant of alumina and rutile substrates at microwave frequencies can be accurately determined by fitting the simulated S-parameter spectra of microstrip ring resonators, generated via the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method, to experimentally measured data. The proposed method does not require the determination of the effective dielectric constant and the approximate closed-form expressions to find the true permittivity of the substrate. This is essential for the characterization of high-K dielectric materials at high frequencies when the closed-form expressions are invalid. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This paper describes EM Wave Simulation, a windows-based animated electromagnetic wave simulation package, developed as a supplementary tool for teaching electromagnetic field theory at the undergraduate level, For the purpose of rapid display of electromagnetic wave images, the implemented algorithm assumes a structure sandwiched between two perfect electric conductor planes and employs a 2(1)/(2)-dimensional finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method on a staggered grid, which is suitable for simulating simplified electromagnetic wave propagation in indoor environments. Frequency-domain spectral information can be extracted with the built-in one- and two-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms facilities. A user-friendly mouse-and-menu-driven interface allows user to set up simulations containing complex geometries in a straightforward fashion. Simulated results, in both time and frequency domains, can be displayed in real-time on the computer screen, which makes the application ideal for use in interactive undergraduate teaching. Some sample simulations are discussed in the paper to illustrate its principal functionality. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An approach to hybridization of the method of moments and the finite-difference time-domain method is investigated in this paper. This hybrid method is capable of analyzing a system of multiple discrete regions by employing the principle of equivalent sources to excite their coupling surfaces. The case of multiple sources in the presence of scattering objects is discussed. To develop the approach and test its validity, some examples are given using the same numerical method in multiple regions: the results compare well with other available data, The theory of the heterogeneous hybrid method is then developed and validated. It is shown that this technique has the great advantage of accurately modeling complex and arbitrarily oriented mobile telephone handset antennas in the proximity of a detailed voxel representation of the human head, as required for safety and radiation pattern assessments.

A special finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) formulation oblique incidence for periodic media is used for the design and analysis of an infrared photonic crystal filter with dual stopbands at 3-5 and 8-12 mu m. The transmission coefficients in the main stopband (8-12 mu m) is below - 10 dB. Scattering coefficients are calculated for different incidence angles, and the stopbands are shown to exist for different angles of incidence. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
