Extensions of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite-element time-domain (FETD)
algorithms are reviewed for solving transient Maxwell equations in complex media. Also …

This paper examines the most popular advances in the FDTD algorithm development, as
applied to electromagnetic wave propagation in linearly dispersive media. Several …

This paper presents a general approach for the stability analysis of the time-domain finite-
element method (TDFEM) for electromagnetic simulations. Derived from the discrete system …

We present an approach for adapting the Gaussian dispersion analysis (GDA) of optical
materials to time-domain simulations. Within a GDA model, the imaginary part of a measured …

We discuss second-order complex Padé approximants which give a systematic approach to
time-domain modeling of dispersive dielectric functions. These approximants, which also …

A novel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach is proposed for the analysis of wave
propagation in a general frequency-dependent medium. In the proposed method …

We study the defect-induced nonlinear transmission of a periodic structure created by
alternating slabs of two materials with positive and negative refractive index. We …

Backward-wave (BW) materials that have simultaneously negative real parts of their electric
permittivity and magnetic permeability can support waves where phase and power …

Since simulations of broadband applications have gained in importance in the last few
years, the dispersive characteristics of various materials must not be neglected anymore. As …

A novel frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, previously
proposed by the author, is applied to numerical dosimetry of exposures by an …
