Abstract

A novel finite-difference time-domain formulation for the modeling of general anisotropic dispersive media is introduced in this work. The method accounts for fully anisotropic electric or magnetic materials with all elements of the permittivity and permeability tensors being non-zero. In addition, each element shows an arbitrary frequency dispersion described by the complex-conjugate pole–residue pairs model. The efficiency of the technique is demonstrated in benchmark numerical examples involving electromagnetic wave propagation through magnetized plasma, nematic liquid crystals and ferrites.
