This letter describes the implementation of second-order one-way wave-equation absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) in two unconditionally stable finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods-namely the locally one-dimensional (LOD)-and the alternating-direction implicit (ADI)-FDTD methods. The Higdon second-order absorbing operator is discretized in the same way as when it is used with the conventional FDTD method. The resulting discrete expression is directly applied to the electric field in each time substep of the LOD-and the ADI-FDTD methods. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of the proposed approach. Index Terms-Alternating-direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method, locally one-dimensional FDTD (LOD-FDTD) method, one-way wave-equation absorbing boundary condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
