Abstract

In this contribution, we present the analysis and numerical verification of the scattering phenomenon from a temporal interface in a parallel-plate waveguide realized by suddenly modifying the dimensions of the waveguide while the wave is propagating. As it is well known in guided wave theory, at the interface between two different waveguides there exists a change of the effective refractive index and wave impedance perceived by the propagating wave within the device, which inevitably scatters at the interface into a reflected and refracted wave. In analogous way, by suddenly changing the effective material properties within the whole waveguide, it is possible to realize the so-called temporal interface, as well. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate on the scattering from a waveguide temporal interface induced by the abrupt change of the waveguide dimension, which in turn realize a change of the effective material properties perceived by the wave.
