Unconditionally stable ADI-FDTD formulations of the APML for frequency-dependent media

Unconditional stable formulations of the anisotropic perfectly matched layer (APML) are presented for truncating frequency-dependent media. The formulations are based on the auxiliary differential equation and the alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) methods. Numerical examples carried out in one and two dimensions show that the proposed formulations remain unconditionally stable with inclusion of material dispersion into ADI-FDTD implementation of APML.
