Electromagnetic and Photonic Simulation for the Beginner: Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain in MATL

Written especially for those who are new to computational electromagnetics, this book teaches you everything you need to know to simulate a wide variety of electromagnetic and photonic devices using the powerful finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method. The book comprehensively reviews key concepts from electromagnetics and is packed with MATLAB¿ codes and special techniques that demonstrate how FDFD can be applied to a very wide array of devices and applications.

MATLAB codes are provided with detailed explanations of the programs. The examples are chosen to make it easy to simulate your own devices and write your own programs. Readers are assumed to have a basic knowledge of electromagnetics or photonics, and computer programming in MATLAB.
