Beginning with the development of finite difference equations, and leading to the complete FDTD algorithm, this is a coherent introduction to the FDTD method (the method of choice for modeling Maxwell's equations). It provides students and professional engineers with everything they need to know to begin writing FDTD simulations from scratch and to develop a thorough understanding of the inner workings of commercial FDTD software. Stability, numerical dispersion, sources and boundary conditions are all discussed in detail, as are dispersive and anisotropic materials. A comparative introduction of the finite volume and finite element methods is also provided. All concepts are introduced from first principles, so no prior modeling experience is required, and they are made easier to understand through numerous illustrative examples and the inclusion of both intuitive explanations and mathematical derivations.

This book teaches the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method from the simplest concepts to advanced three-dimensional simulations. It uses plain language and high-quality graphics to help the complete beginner grasp all the concepts quickly and visually. This single resource includes everything needed to simulate a wide variety of different electromagnetic and photonic devices. The book is filled with helpful guidance and computational wisdom that will help the reader easily simulate their own devices and more easily learn and implement other methods in computational electromagnetics. Special techniques in MATLAB® are presented that will allow the reader to write their own FDFD programs. Key concepts in electromagnetics are reviewed so the reader can fully understand the calculations happening in FDFD. A powerful method for implementing the finite-difference method is taught that will enable the reader to solve entirely new differential equations and sets of differential equations in mere minutes. Separate chapters are included that describe how Maxwell’s equations are approximated using finite-differences and how outgoing waves can be absorbed using a perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary. With this background, a chapter describes how to calculate guided modes in waveguides and transmission lines. The effective index method is taught as way to model many three-dimensional devices in just two-dimensions. Another chapter describes how to calculate photonic band diagrams and isofrequency contours to quickly estimate the properties of periodic structures like photonic crystals. Next, a chapter presents how to analyze diffraction gratings and calculate the power coupled into each diffraction order. This book shows that many devices can be simulated in the context of a diffraction grating including guided-mode resonance filters, photonic crystals, polarizers, metamaterials, frequency selective surfaces, and metasurfaces. Plane wave sources, Gaussian beam sources, and guided-mode sources are all described in detail, allowing devices to be simulated in multiple ways. An optical integrated circuit is simulated using the effective index method to build a two-dimensional model of the 3D device and then launch a guided-mode source into the circuit. A chapter is included to describe how the code can be modified to easily perform parameter sweeps, such as plotting reflection and transmission as a function of frequency, wavelength, angle of incidence, or a dimension of the device. The last chapter is advanced and teaches FDFD for three-dimensional devices composed of anisotropic materials. It includes simulations of a crossed grating, a doubly-periodic guided-mode resonance filter, a frequency selective surface, and an invisibility cloak. The chapter also includes a parameter retrieval from a left-handed metamaterial. The book includes all the MATLAB codes and detailed explanations of all programs. This will allow the reader to easily modify the codes to simulate their own ideas and devices. The author has created a website where the MATLAB codes can be downloaded, errata can be seen, and other learning resources can be accessed. This is an ideal book for both an undergraduate elective course as well as a graduate course in computational electromagnetics because it covers the background material so well and includes examples of many different types of devices that will be of interest to a very wide audience.

Time domain integral equation (TDIE)-based methods for the electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems have many potential applications in the areas of high-resolution radar technology, electromagnetic pulse simulation studies, and target identification techniques. These applications could benefit from TDIE methods because of their combination of the strengths of integral equation methods and time domain methods. Specifically, as integral equation methods, they need only surface discretization for homogeneous scatterers, and as time domain methods, they can work for nonlinear problems and can analyze a band of frequencies in a single simulation. Despite these advantages, TDIE methods have historically been inefficient and unstable, and therefore have not been applied broadly. This thesis develops an absolutely stable and accurate TDIE-based technique called the finite difference delay modeling (FDDM) method. In the FDDM method, the temporal discretization is realized by a mapping from the Laplace domain to the [Special characters omitted.] -domain based on a finite difference approximation derived from an ordinary differential equation solution method. Once the system is in the [Special characters omitted.] -domain, it can be inverse-transformed into a discrete time system and solved by marching-on-in-time. For Green's functions with simple Laplace domain expressions, the process can be carried out analytically. For other Green's functions or discretization schemes, a numerical method is employed to calculate the inverse [Special characters omitted.] -transform using trapezoidal rule and discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The first FDDM method developed here computes scattering from perfect electric conductors (PECs). For the temporal discretization, first- and second-order finite difference approximations are used and are shown to be unconditionally stable. For open scatterers, there is a slowly growing, low frequency instability at later time steps because the electric field integral equation is blind to static solenoidal currents which generate no electric field. This problem can be solved by a loop-tree decomposition approach. The second application of the FDDM scheme presented here computes the scattering from homogeneous dielectric bodies. Low frequency instability problems were avoided with another stabilization technique that augments the tangential field boundary condition equations with normal field boundary condition equations. In addition, the FDDM method was applied to dispersive scattering problems. Using FDDM, dispersive scattering is not much harder to model than non-dispersive scattering, though the kernels can be difficult to compute analytically. Thus, a numerical method is employed to compute the inverse [Special characters omitted.] -transform needed to discretize the kernel in time. Finally, to get better temporal convergence, implicit Runge-Kutta based (IRK) based schemes are applied for the temporal discretization. The proposed technique maps a Laplace domain equation to a [Special characters omitted.] -domain equation using the Butcher tableau of the IRK scheme. A discrete time domain system is recovered by computing the inverse [Special characters omitted.] -transform numerically. The resulting technique is capable of third- or fifth-order accuracy in time, and is absolutely stable. Numerical results illustrate the accuracy and stability of the technique.
