Abstract :
The paper extends the two dimensional (2D) finite difference time domain method (FDTD) to accurately analyze hybrid modes in lossy and superconducting planar structures. The new algorithm involves only real-variable calculations. By using a variable mesh with second order accuracy thin layers of superconductors can be handled as well, which was previously impossible with the FDTD.
