A new formulation of the auxiliary difference equation (ADE) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm for the simulation of dispersive materials has been presented in the literature. Although flexible and efficient, this algorithm suffers from instability when modeling lossy high contrast dielectrics. In this paper, we adapt this ADE-FDTD formulation and present alternative algorithms for modeling...
