Electromagnetic (EM) scattering may be a significant source of degradation in signal and power integrity high-contrast silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nano-scale interconnects, such as opto-electronic or optical interconnects operating at 100 s THz where two-dimensional (2D) analytical models dielectric slab waveguides are often used to approximate loss. In this work, formulation is presented relate...

An optimal design of two dimensional (2D) hexagonal photonic bandgap (PBG) resonating micro-optical defect cavity on IV-VI lead salt material has been carried out. The nature of both the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) band structure for the electromagnetic waves in the periodic triangular lattice pattern is formulated by the well-established plane wave expansion (PWE) met...

This work deals with the use of our recent generalized dispersive material (GDM) model built on Pade approximants that is applied to FDTD simulations of nanoplasmonic structures. In particular, our original formulation is compared to the classical recursive-convolution technique for the Lorentz oscillator using a complex recursive accumulator. The proposed GDM model is then used to simulate the...

The correct choice of time-step size is of crucial importance in the case of the (2, 4) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, as it affects the algorithm’s overall accuracy and convergence rate. A description of the inherent discretisation error is introduced, which is exploited for the derivation of a simple, yet reliable, approximation of the optimum temporal sampling density. As the p...

Coupling between adjacent Finite Ground Coplanar (FGC) waveguides as a function of the line geometry is presented for the first time. A two Dimension-Finite Difference Time Domain (2D-FDTD) analysis and measurements are used to show that the coupling decreases as the line to line separation and the ground plane width increases. Furthermore, it is shown that for a given spacing between the cente...

In this paper, we have proposed two novel plasmonic demultiplexing structures based on metal-insulator-metal surfaces which, beside their compact size, have a very good transmission spectrum. The impact of the key internal parameters on the transmission spectrum is numerically analyzed by using the twodimensional (2D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The proposed structures could be...

This paper discusses compact-stencil nite difference time domain (FDTD) schemes for approximating the 2D wave equation in the context of digital audio. Stability, accuracy, and ef ciency are investigated and new ways of viewing and interpreting the results are discussed. It is shown that if a tight accuracy constraint is applied, implicit schemes outperform explicit schemes. The paper also disc...

We apply the technique of far-field interferometry to measure the properties of surface waves generated by two-dimensional (2D) single subwavelength slit-groove structures on gold films. The effective surface index of refraction n(surf) measured for the surface wave propagating over a distance of more than 12 mum is determined to be n(surf) = 1.016+/-0.004, to within experimental uncertainty cl...

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) has been getting much attention over the past decades in the field of displays and lighting applications for its excellent efficiency, color quality and color tunability. Optical modeling of OLEDs is one important development issue to create high performance devices [1]. In this article, several optical simulations of OLEDs are presented by using recently imp...
