Abstract
AbstractIn this artice, we report on a reduced‐order model (ROM) based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique for the system of 3‐D time‐domain Maxwell's equations coupled to a Drude dispersion model, which is employed to describe the interaction of light with nanometer scale metallic structures. By using the singular value decomposition (SVD) method, the POD basis vectors are extracted offline from the snapshots produced by a high order discontinuous Galerkin time‐domain (DGTD) solver. With a Galerkin projection and a second order leap‐frog (LF2) time discretization, a discrete ROM is constructed. The stability condition of the ROM is then analyzed. In particular, when the boundary is a perfect electric conductor condition, the global energy of the ROM is bounded, which is consistent with the characteristics of global energy in the DGTD method. It is shown that the ROM based on Galerkin projection can maintain the stability characteristics of the original high dimensional model. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the accuracy, demonstrate the capabilities of the POD‐based ROM and assess its efficiency for 3‐D nanophotonic problems.
