Abstract
This paper investigates the characteristics of evanescent waves in the generalized nonstandard finite-difference time-domain (NS-FDTD) method and derives the dispersion equation and stability condition for two-dimensional space. 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
