Abstract

Unconditionally stable complex envelope (CE) absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) are presented for truncating left handed material (LHM) domains. The proposed algorithm is based on incorporating the Crank Nicolson (CN) scheme into the CE finite difference time domain (FDTD) implementations of the nearly perfectly matched layer (NPML) formulations. The validity of the formulations is shown through numerical example carried out in one dimensional Lorentzian type LHM FDTD domain.
