Modeling and simulation of multiple resonant Lorentz dispersive materials for integrated optics

Complex materials are of increasing interest in Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modeling. For example, when the particle density becomes large, collisional fluid models of plasmas are an attractive alternative to particle in cell methods. Further, frequency dispersive meta-materials are of increasing interest. Thus, Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) models are derived for magnetized plasmas and for the Lorentz and Drude material models. This paper models the Lorentz material using the FDTD tool. The modal analysis and various types of simulation results are also presented for these materials.
