Summary:
The main objectives of this paper are to apply the characteristic-based method to the numerical solutions of Maxwell’s equations involved with higher-order complex susceptibility, and then to observe the effects of the nonlinear, complex-valued permittivity on the nonlinear behavior of the electromagnetic pulses inside media by plotting the numerical results side-by-side. The computed results of the time-domain Maxwell’s curl equations involved with nonlinear susceptibility were obtained through the application of the recently developed characteristic-based method. The computed electric field intensities and effective permittivity, complex quantities and functions of time, were demonstrated alongside and compared. Hopefully, it is desirable to explore the possibility of such application to the nonlinear optical problems using the characteristic-based method.
