Gratings with subwavelength groove depth and period are frequently used in optics for various purposes. The polarization dependent diffraction characteristics of subwavelength (high frequency) gratings can only be calculated by solving Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism. In this paper, we calculate the classical diffraction characteristics of subwavelength conducting gratings numerically, using a new high accuracy version of nonstandard finite-differencetime-domain (NS-FDTD) algorithm. For the purpose of analysis, we employ a gold sinusoidal grating with light incident at a large angle. We have compared high accuracy NS-FDTD simulation results with those obtained from standard finite-differencetime-domain (S-FDTD), and the finite element method (FEM) simulations.

We present the electromagnetic analysis of Talbot effect with the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. To our knowledge, it is the first time that FDTD method is applied to analyze the performance of a Talbot illuminator. Furthermore, self-imaging performances of a grating with different flaws are analyzed. The FDTD method can be applied to analyze this kind of diffraction. Of course it also can be analyzed with the Fourier transform method. But for this non-period grating, it will be more complex. In addition, the grating employed here is a high-density grating. The Fourier transform method is not rigorous enough. For these reasons, the FDTD method can show the exact near-field distribution of different flaws in a high-density grating, which is impossible to attain with the conventional Fourier transform method.

One can construct photonic single quantum well structures by sandwiching a homogeneous medium slab as a defect between two symmetrical photonic crystals (PCs). It is shown that the number of observed resonant peaks increases with increasing slab thickness. It is found that while the slab is composed of alternatively stacked step-index films, the frequencies of these resonant peaks can be adjusted finely by changing the film thickness properly. In this case, the frequency and frequency interval of confined states can be tuned accurately, and the spectral efficiency can be greatly enhanced without increasing the volume of optical devices. Numerical simulation is based on the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. (C) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Studies towords understanding and the use of metamaterials (MTM) have risen in electromagnetic engineering. This article presents analytical and numerical investigations of filter characteristics of MTMs in two-dimension (2D). Numerical investigations are. based oil finitedifference little domain (FDTD) simulations, analytical formulations belong to a plane wave excitation of multi-slab structures. It is shown that a three layer structure with different combinations of MTMs and non-MTMs may be used to realize all four types of filter characteristics. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals. Inc.

In this study, the propagation of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals (PPCs), namely, superlattice structures consisting alternately of a homogeneous unmagnetized plasma and dielectric material, is simulated numerically using the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) algorithm. A perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing technique is used in this simulation. The reflection and transmission coefficients of electromagnetic (EM) waves through PPCs are calculated. The characteristics of the photonic band gap (PBG) are discussed in terms of plasma density, dielectric constant ratios, number of periods, and introduced layer defect. These may provide some useful information for designing plasma photonic crystal devices.

Following the analogy of radio frequency slot antenna and its complementary dipole, we propose the implementation of a slot nanoantenna (SNA) in the optical frequency range. Using finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method, we investigate the electromagnetic (EM) properties of a SNA formed in a thin gold film and compare the results with the properties of a gold dipole nanoantenna (DNA) of the same dimension as the slot. It is found that the response of the SNA is very similar to the DNA, like their counterparts in the radio frequency (RF) range. The SNA can enhance the near field intensity of incident field which strongly depends on its feedgap dimension. The resonance of the SNA is influenced by its slot length;for the increasing slot length, resonant frequency decreases whereas the sharpness of resonance increases. Besides, the resonance of the SNA is found sensitive to the thickness of metal film, when the latter is smaller than the skin depth. The effect of polarization of incident field on the EM response of the SNA was examined;the field enhancement is optimum when polarization is parallel to the feedgap. Finally, we calculate the radiation patterns of the DNA and SNA and compare them with those of the RF dipole antenna. The radiation pattern of the SNA is found to be independent of its slot length when excited at resonant frequency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on a slot antenna in the optical frequency. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An algorithm is proposed for the implementation of the high-order surface impedance boundary condition using the finite-difference time-domain method. The surface impedance function of a lossy medium is approximated by a series of rational functions in the Laplace domain, whereas the dyadic differential operator is approximated by a second-order power series. By assuming that the fields are piecewise linear, the time-domain convolution integrals are computed using a recursive formula. The impedance function of a coating layer is approximated by a third-order power series. The algorithm can be applied to scattering problems of a three-dimensional coating for both vertically and horizontally polarized waves. The advantage of the proposed method is that the result can be applied to media of arbitrary conductivities, with a wide range of incident angles from zero to graze. Some numerical examples are given to substantiate the theory.

In this paper, analytical modeling and numerical simulation of the complex effective dielectric, magnetic constants and refractive index of a metallic rod metamaterial in microwave frequency range are presented. Analytical modeling has been done using modified mathematical models of the complex dielectric and magnetic constants obtained for rod metamaterial structure. Numerical simulation of the above-mentioned parameters has been made using S-parameters obtained with the help of finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) calculations. The numerical simulation has been carried out for different thickness of rods. Remarkable coincidence between analytical and numerical results was found. The effective dielectric constant enhancement of the considered composite has been obtained. Recommendations for the practical application of considered metamaterial structure for designing patch antennas have been discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Although fabrication of photonic crystals improved over the last few years, intrinsic defects of the crystal lattice affect the experimentally measured spectral features. in order to compare experimental spectra with simulated photonic band structure, disorder effects are simulated by introduction of material absorption. By using the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method we were able in the past to obtain a good agreement between experimental and simulated transmission curves by taking in account the glass substrate. In this work we extend our analysis for reflectance curves of one, two and three-layered close-packed polystyrene spheres. We show that a key ingredient in simulating disorder effects is the introduction of fictional absorption for polystyrene. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
