Technical Terms Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD): A numerical method for solving partial differential equations, notably Maxwell’s equations, by discretising both time and spatial domains.

Since its first introduction in 1966, the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method has been widely used as a tool for solving complex electromagnetic problems. For FDTD, Maxwell’s equations ...

The band gap for 2D PhC with different modes and different lattice structures using FDTD has been computed. Three PBGs between the first and the second bands, between the second and the third ...
