Abstract

A perfectly matched layer (PML) is constructed for two-dimensional (2D) unconditionally stable (US) FDTD method based on an approximate Crank-Nicolson scheme. This novel PML preserves unconditional stability of the 2D US-FDTD method and has very good absorbing performance. Numerical results are included to illustrate effectiveness and performance of this new PML. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
