✦ Synopsis

The study of optical scattering by heterogeneous media is a complex topic where homogenization is very helpful and rigorous methods are useful. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method coupled with Monte Carlo process is used to compute the effective parameters of heterogeneous media. Effective parameters based on the coherent field propagation of a beam in the medium are determined in bidimensional geometry and for both polarizations. It is applied to media composed of small particles embedded in an host medium, for relevant ranges of particle sizes and optical constants for both binder and particles. The results are compared to the Maxwell-Garnett and Bruggeman mixing laws and the Foldy-Twersky and Keller perturbative approximations, leading to the assessment of their validity domain.

The finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method is a well known numerical technique that has been used to solve electromagnetic boundary value problems. However, the method requires large computational resources to solve a problem, restricting its use on sequential computers to small problems. This

Parallel algorithms for the finite difference time-domain (FDTD), the planar generalized Yee (PGY), and the finite element time-domain (FETD) methods are presented. The FDTD and the PGY algorithms are both explicit time-domain solutions of Maxwell's equations, while the PGY algorithm is based on an
