Bj. Li et Pl. Liu, ANALYSIS OF FAR-FIELD PATTERNS OF MICRODISK RESONATORS BY THE FINITE-DIFFERENCE TIME-DOMAIN METHOD, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 33(9), 1997, pp. 1489-1491
The far-field patterns of microdisk resonators are analyzed by using t
he finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the near-to-far fie
ld transformation, A brief summary of FDTD and details of the transfor
mation in the cylindrical coordinate system are presented, Using FDTD,
the wavelengths and Q values of the resonant modes are calculated fro
m an impulse excitation, The steady-state field solutions are calculat
ed from sinusoidal sources. The far-field patterns of an ideal microdi
sk are presented.
