Abstract:
An adaptive finite element method is developed for solving Maxwell's equations in a nonlinear periodic structure. The medium or computational domain is truncated by a perfect matched layer (PML) technique. Error estimates are established. Numerical examples are provided, which illustrate the efficiency of the method.
