Abstract: | This paper deals with the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation of interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a switched plasma slab. In formulating the simulation the well-known concepts of (a) total-field/scattered-field formulation (b) and PML lattice truncation are adapted to suit the simulation under consideration.FDTD is particularly well suited to handle the switched (time-varying) medium (including sudden switching) since the time varying parameters of the medium can be easily interpreted in the algorithm. The technique is applied to the difficult problem of interaction of an electromagnetic pulse source wave of frequency 0 and a gaussian envelope with a newly created plasma slab of time-varying and space varying electron density profile. The creation of a pulse of Wiggler magnetic field in the slab is illustrated. |
