Berenger, Jean-Pierre A perfectly matched layer for the absorption of electromagnetic waves. (English) Zbl 0814.65129 J. Comput. Phys. 114, No. 2, 185-200 (1994). An absorbing layer that does not activate any reflection at an interface with first vacuum is described and then applied to build a new technique of free-space simulation for solving an unbounded electromagnetic problem with the finite difference time-domain method. This technique appears to be more attractive than the earlier techniques of free-space simulation.
