Modeling of electromagnetic waves propagation in nonlinear optical media using HSCN-TLM method

In this paper, we propose a hybrid symmetrical condensed node TLM approach for the simulation of optical media under femtosecond regime. The formulation is based on the piecewise linear recursive convolution (PLRC) technique, voltage sources and the introduction of the variable admittance concept. Optical solitons with Kerr and Raman nonlinearities are simulated using this novel approach.
