Analysis of the non-reflecting boundary condition for the time-harmonic electromagnetic wave propagation in waveguides

Abstract

In this paper, we study the non-reflecting boundary condition for the time-harmonic Maxwell's equations in homogeneous waveguides with an inhomogeneous inclusion. We analyze a series representation of solutions to the Maxwell's equations satisfying the radiating condition at infinity, from which we develop the so-called electric-to-magnetic operator for the non-reflecting boundary condition. Infinite waveguides are truncated to a finite domain with a fictitious boundary on which the non-reflecting boundary condition based on the electric-to-magnetic operator is imposed. As the main goal, the well-posedness of the reduced problem will be proved. This study is important to develop numerical techniques of accurate absorbing boundary conditions for electromagnetic wave propagation in waveguides.
