We demonstrate the applications of discrete-time signal-processing (SP) techniques for the purpose of generating accurate plane waves in the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. The SP techniques are used either to reduce the high-frequency content of the source excitation or to compute more precise incident-field values in the computational domain. The effects of smoothing windows of various lengths, digital lowpass filters of various bandwidths and characteristics, and polynomial interpolation schemes of various orders are investigated. Arbitrary signals with multifrequency content are considered.

One-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method (1-D FDTD) is used in the study and design of polarization filter of one-dimensional photonic crystal nanometer film in the range of visible light. The numerical results indicate that traditional optical multi-layer films are the special case of one-dimensional binary photonic crystals. The filter properties of one-dimensional binary photonic crystals are dependent on a variety of factors, such as the position and thickness of doping layer, the electromagnetic parameters and incident angles. When the doping layer is in the middle of the film, the effect of polarization separation is the best. The larger the difference of thickness between doping layer and periodic layer is, the better the effect of polarization separation is. The forbidden band can be formed if the difference between the refraction indices of two-component is big enough. The incident angle of light and the materials loss both take effect on the filter properties of above structure. All the results play an important role in future design of photonic device.

The electric field distribution of the micro-structured metal grating is investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The simulation results show that the electric field distribution is strongly dependent on the structure's periodicity, the grooves' depth and the distance between groove and slit. Adjusting the parameters of the grating can modify the transmitted field distribution, which provides a valid way for high resolution photolithography.

详细信息
The shift operator method in finite-difference time-domain method for anisotropic double-negative (DNG) metamaterials is derived. The problem which incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at the same time is solved for the electromagnetic wave propagation in DNG media. By comparing with the mie series solution, the numerical verification of the method and program are confirmed by computing the back scattering of isotropic unmagnetized plasma sphere. The back scattering of conducting sphere coated with DNG media with different parameters is computed by using the shift operator method. One finds that the degree of DNG media's match and isotropy plays important parts in the decrease of the back scattering of the conducting sphere.

A rectangular spiral antenna with switches is proposed for beam adaptive applications. The excitation of switches introduces variations in the current distribution oil the antenna arm, thus causing the beam to steer. A switch is implemented as an element to short-circuit at a point on the spiral ann to the ground conductor (shorted spiral antenna). A shorted spiral configuration using four switches is analysed. For this configuration, both single- and multipoint switching are implemented. Sixteen possible switching cases are investigated. The radiation patterns are measured in the Satimo antenna test facility and numerically supported using the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method. Tilted (24 degrees < 0(max) < 44 degrees) and axial (5 degrees < 0(max) < 12 degrees) beams are obtained using various switching cases, thus realising an adaptive antenna. The gain, which is approximately 6.5 dBi, stays uniform within +/- 1 dB variation and the VSWR remains within an acceptable limit or 2 for the majority of the switching cases.

We present a modelling technique for analyzing dispersion characteristics of nonlinear photonic crystal waveguides. This technique combines the nonlinear finite-difference time-domain method, based on the numerical simulation of oscillating dipole radiation, with the super cell approach and the periodic boundary conditions. The technique presented makes it possible to calculate the dispersion characteristics of Kerr-like nonlinear photonic crystals waveguides made by removing some scatterers. A numerical tool based on this technique can be used to design various components for integrated optical circuits.

详细信息
To analyze the optically controlled dielectric resonators accurately, an efficient numerical modelling technique is proposed in this paper. By using alternating-direction implicit finite-difference time-domain method and conformal technique, the resonant frequency of a dielectric resonator is calculated. In addition, an optical generation of plasma is used as a possible means of controlling the resonate frequency, and the effect that solid state plasmas have on the resonator's frequency is described. The numerical results agree very well with measurements in estimation of the optically induced resonator's frequency-shift.

详细信息
A finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) method combined with a periodic boundary condition is used to analyze the diffraction efficiency of an etched diffraction grating (EDG) demultiplexer coated with a metallic film at the backside. The numerical results show that the diffraction loss is mainly due to the scattering effect of shaded facets of a metal-coated grating at both the polarizations. However, the same shaded facets can produce a higher loss for a TM polarization than that for a TE polarization, which induces a higher polarization dependent loss (PDL) of the demultiplexer.
