High-Order Accuracy Methods for the Modeling and Design of Microoptics and Photonic Devices

摘要

The goals of this effort have been the development of high-order accurate computational methods for wave problems in general and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics in particular. The applications are general, but particular emphasis has been on optical applications. The authors have made substantial progress in the development and application of three different methods: time-domain, high-order finite difference embedding methods; boundary variation methods for multilayered optics; and discontinuous Galerkin methods for the harmonic Maxwell equation. The report concludes with a list of 17 journal articles, conference papers, and lecture papers.
