Piecewise linear recursive convolution FDTD method for magnetized plasmas

The piecewise linear recursive convolution （PLRC） finite-different time-domain （FDTD） method greatly improves accuracy over the original recursive convolution （RC） FDTD approach but retains its speed and efficiency advantages. A PLRC-FDTD formulation for magnetized plasma which incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at the same time is presented, enabled the transient analysis of magnetized plasma media. The technique is illustrated by numerical simulations the reflection and transmission coefficients through a magnetized plasma layer. The results show that the PLRC-FDTD method has significantly improved the accuracy over the original RC method.

A Revised Piecewise Linear Recursive Convolution FDTD Method for Magnetized Plasmas

The piecewise linear recursive convolution （PLRC） finite-different time-domain （FDTD） method improves accuracy over the original recursive convolution （RC） FDTD approach and current density convolution （JEC） but retains their advantages in speed and efficiency. This paper describes a revised piecewise linear recursive convolution PLRC-FDTD formulation for magnetized plasma which incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at the same time, enabling the transient analysis of magnetized plasma media. The technique is illustrated by numerical simulations of the reflection and transmission coefficients through a magnetized plasma layer. The results show that the revised PLRC-FDTD method has improved the accuracy over the original RC FDTD method and JEC FDTD method.

Linearity of Removal in the Proeess of Optical Element Polishing

In the light of some assumptions that are very close to the practical working conditions,a very complicated polishing process of optical element can be simplified as a linear and shift invariant system that is relatd only to the speed,pres- sure and time of processing.In polishing,the removed material can be represented and entreated by the convolution of the removal function of polishing head and the dwell function.The properties of removal function are presented.The assumptions and methods given by the author have been shown to be correct and applicable by experiments using a ring lap to polish the optical surfac.

Higher order implicit CNDG-PML algorithm for left-handed materials

By incorporating the higher order concept,the piecewise linear recursive convolution(PLRC)method and CrankNicolson Douglas-Gunn(CNDG)algorithm,the unconditionally stable complex frequency shifted nearly perfectly matched layer(CFS-NPML)is proposed to terminate the left-handed material(LHM)domain.The proposed scheme takes advantages of CFSNPML formulation,the higher order concept PLRC method and the unconditionally stable CNDG algorithm in terms of absorbing performance,computational efficiency,calculation accuracy and convenient implementation.A numerical example is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme.The results indicate that the proposed scheme can not only have considerable absorbing performance but also maintain the unconditional stability of the algorithm with the enlargement of time steps.
