  • Abstract
    This study demonstrates a new approach based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method that transcends the described modeling limitations. This approach can be used to determine both the sub-wavelength spatial features of the optical field, as well as its temporal dynamics on a sub-cycle time-scale.
