Notes on Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs)
نویسنده
چکیده
This note is intended as a brief introduction to the theory and practice of per fectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundaries for wave equations, intended for future use in the courses 18.369 and 18.336 at MIT. It focuses on the complex stretched-coordinate viewpoint, and also discusses the limitations of PML.

Stable perfectly matched layers for a class of anisotropic dispersive models. Part I: Necessary and sufficient conditions of stability
In this work we consider a problem of modelling of 2D anisotropic dispersive wave propagation in unbounded domains with the help of perfectly matched layers (PML). We study the Maxwell equations in passive media with a frequency-dependent diagonal tensor of dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability. An application of the traditional PMLs to this kind of problems often results in instabi...
متن کاملPerfectly Matched Layers in Negative Index Metamaterials and Plasmas
This work deals with the stability of Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs). The first part is a survey of previous results about the classical PMLs in non-dispersive media (construction and necessary condition of stability). The second part concerns some extensions of these results. We give a new necessary criterion of stability valid for a large class of dispersive models and for more general PMLs ...
متن کاملAn Improved Procedure for Selecting the Profiles of Perfectly Matched Layers
The perfectly matched layers (PMLs), as a boundary termination over an unbounded spatial domain, are widely used in numerical simulations of wave propagation problems. Given a set of discretization parameters, a procedure to select the PML profiles based on minimizing the discrete reflectivity is established for frequency domain simulations. We, by extending the function class and adopting a di...
متن کاملAsymptotic solutions of eigenmodes in slab waveguides terminated by perfectly matched layers.
For numerical modeling of optical wave-guiding structures, perfectly matched layers (PMLs) are widely used to terminate the transverse variables of the waveguide. The PML modes are the eigenmodes of a waveguide terminated by PMLs, and they have found important applications in the mode matching method, the coupled mode theory, and so on. In this paper, we consider PML modes for two-dimensional s...
متن کاملModal expansion for the 2D Green’s function in a non-orthogonal coordinates system
We present an efficient modal method to calculate the two-dimensional Green’s function for electromagnetics in curvilinear coordinates. For this purpose the coordinate transformation based differential method, introduced for the numerical analysis of surface-relief gratings, is directly used with perfectly matched layers (PMLs). The covariant formalism Maxwell’s equations, very convenient for t...
