Abstract
A generalized model based on the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (2D FDTD) method for photonic crystal fibers (PCF) with frequency dependent media is presented. The Maxwell's curl equations are formulated using flux density and the magnetic field. Auxiliary differential equations are used with complex-conjugate pole-residue pairs which incorporate the material dispersion of the dispersive media. The model is demonstrated to be a unified approach for arbitrary dispersive materials; therefore, it definitely reduces implementation cost when dealing with different frequency-dependent materials.
