A formulation of the PML technique suitable for the FDTD simulation of optical structures is presented. The FDTD formulation is based on the scalar-wave equation. The resulting algorithm is stable, efficient, and effective. Numerical results show that the technique provides an excellent level of absorption with a reasonable amount of absorbing thickness.

In this paper, an investigation of the microwave heating of a lossy material located inside a cavity by the finite-differencetime-domain (FD-TD) method is undertaken. The emphasis of this work focuses on the performance of the FD-TD method when certain traditional assumptions are used within the framework of the model. The limitations of these assumptions will be deliberated and more accurate counterparts will be proposed and tested. In particular, it will be shown that when only a single mode is assumed to exist around the aperture between the waveguide and the cavity, spurious numerical results arise. Further, the numerical simulation indicates that the treatment of the interfacial boundary condition located between free-space and the material becomes very important when predicting the dissipated power distribution for a lossy dielectric material. A new approximation of this interfacial boundary condition is developed and a comparison between existing and new methodologies is made. The treatment of singular field behavior near sharp edges of the cavity is also examined and a study of the effect of using different techniques to model regions where this condition arises is presented. In order to validate the numerical simulation results, comparisons against experimental data sets previously reported in the literature will be made. In summary, the new techniques proposed in this research yield a solution of high accuracy and demonstrate an increased flexibility for simulating microwave systems. It will be shown that the FD-TD method satisfies the important Maxwell equation field divergence condition everywhere within the applicator.

The finitedifferencetimedomainmethod has been used to analyze the dispersion diagram of a photonic crystal comprised of a perforated dielectric slab and the properties of a micro-cavity formed by introducing a defect into such a crystal. Computational requirements of the method, its advantages and disadvantages, and results for the structure analyzed are discussed.

In this letter, a new implementation of the three-dimensional (3-D) perfectly matched layer (PML) in finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) applications is introduced. This technique is based on doubling the cell dimensions in PML region where extra averaging of electrical field components are necessary at the edges and faces along the PML-FDTD interfaces. The presented numerical examples are for 3-D structures which exhibit complex wave phenomena. Significant improvement obtained after this implementation, especially at lower frequencies, is demonstrated.

A comparison between two forward solving methods, recursive T-matrix and FDTD, is presented. The strengths and weaknesses of both methods are discussed. The recursive T-matrix method is a fast solver that is well suited to solutions in homogeneous media where the scatterers are bodies of rotation. The FDTD method is best suited to complicated and realistic problems involving inhomogeneities, rough surface interfaces and irregular shaped scatterers. Numeric results from both methods are presented.

A method for the FDTD analysis of quasi-optical MESFET arrays is presented in this paper. To analyze active devices such as MESFETs, this method creates a set of field-state central finitedifference equations;and all the field and state variables are solved simultaneously at the same FDTD time step. It will be shown in this paper that this formulation is simple and straightforward. The analysis of quasi-optical MESFET oscillator arrays have been performed to show the application of this method. Excellent agreements have been obtained between the results from this simulation method, from commercial softwares, and from experimental measurements to show the validity of this method.

In the development of nonlinear optical switching mechanisms, it would be very desirable to have a computer simulation of the electromagnetic pulse propagating in the nonlinear fiber. This would be helpful in understanding the underlying electromagnetics, and would also be helpful in designing new switching configurations, One method which has been widely used in electromagnetic simulation is the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. Its effectiveness in optical fiber simulation is restricted by the fact that the short wavelengths of light dictate dense sampling, which becomes a logistical problem in three dimensional simulation. Techniques are described which allow 3D simulation of small sections of nonlinear optical fibers. The results of these simulations are used to predict behavior over longer distances.
