Time domain simulation of electromagnetic cloaking structures with TLM method

Opt Express. 2008 Apr 28;16(9):6461-70. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.006461.

Abstract

The increasing interest in invisible cloaks has been prompted in part by the availability of powerful computational resources which permit numerical studies of such a phenomenon. These are usually carried out with commercial software. We report here a full time domain simulation of cloaking structures with the Transmission Line Modeling (TLM) method. We first develop a new condensed TLM node to model metamaterials in two dimensional situations; various results are then presented, with special emphasis on what is not easily achievable using commercial software.
