Abstract
A new scheme for the scalar finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with perfectly matched layer boundary conditions in cylindrical coordinate system is developed and presented. The FDTD method is applied successfully for the calculation of both guided and leaky modes of optical waveguides with circular symmetry.
