The validity of the dispersion equation is confirmed by comparison with results of numerical simulations. The NS-FDTD method is applied to the analysis of an optical switching device using a photon tunneling effect. It is shown that the NS-FDTD method has highly accurate characteristics not only for propagating waves, but also for evanescent waves compared with the standard FDTD method., application/pdf}, pages = {1313--1316}, title = {Characteristics of Evanescent Waves in the Nonstandard FDTD Method}, volume = {43}, year = {2007} }
