Simple and Efficient PML Algorithm for Truncating Nonlinear FDTD Domains Based on the Z -Transform Method

Based on the Z-transform method, a simple, efficient and unsplit-field implementation of the Stretched Coordinate Perfectly Matched Layer (SC-PML) is proposed for truncating the nonlinear dispersive Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) lattices. In addition, the nonlinear FDTD formulations using the Z-transform method are reformulated with the advantage of a simple derivative process. The proposed algorithm is validated through two numerical examples carried out in one dimensional and two dimensional domains which include Lorentz dispersion as well as Kerr and Raman nonlinearities.     

Unconditionally Stable Z-Transform ADI-PML Algorithm for Lorentzian Double Negative Meta-Materials

Unconditionally stable formulations of the anisotropic perfectly matched layer (APML) are presented for truncating double negative (DNG) meta-material finite difference time domain (FDTD) grids. In the proposed formulations, the Z-transform theory is employed in the alternating direction implicit FDTD (ADI-FDTD) scheme to obtain update equations for the field components in the DNG meta-material domains. Numerical examples carried out in one dimensional Lorentzian type DNG meta-material domains are included to show the validity of the proposed formulations.     

Unconditionally Stable Complex Envelope Wave Equation PML Algorithm for Band Limited FDTD Simulations

Unconditionally stable complex envelope (CE) perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) are presented for truncating the scalar wave-equation finite difference time domain (WE-FDTD) grids. The formulations are based on incorporating the alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme into the CE FDTD implementations of the scalar wave-equation derived in the PML region at the domain boundaries. Numerical example carried out in two dimensional domain shows that the proposed formulations are more accurate than the classical ADI scalar wave equation PML formulations when it is used for modelling band limited electromagnetic applications.

Analysis of nonlinear PCF for birefringence application using FDTD method

The effect of ellipticity on birefringence in a hexagonal photonic crystal fiber having elliptical air holes with Kerr nonlinearity is investigated, with and without defect using finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. It is found that the birefringence increases with the increase of ellipticity. Further this analysis is extended to a double defect structure, where two adjacent air holes are omitted horizontally from the hexagonal structure. This double defect structure is found to have more birefringence than the structure without defect. It is raveled that birefringence due to no defect is more for lower value of ellipticity; however at higher value of ellipticity, birefringence due to double defect is more than the one that could be due to no defect.
