fdtd, nonlinear
most of the topic is about linear domain, how about nonlinear case.
how to embed the nonlinear in UPML FDTD code?
any ideas
i hope seen the difference also
You should use the CPML from Gedney, since this kind of Perfectly matched layer is independent of the material properties at the interface.
that is nice of you.
btw, should the nonlinear code also run in the region of PML?

in nonlinear medium, how to calculate the time-averaged Poynting vector?
as the power related to local index of refraction.
I think PML and UPML can handle inhomogeneous medium as well, by normalizing epsilon by the relative permittivity [ 2nd-FDTD book Toflove, page304, eq.7.52]
It really depends how you are modelling the nonlinear behaviour.
I have not heard about any algorithms which allows to put
non-linear materials into the boundary.
Basically, since modelling non-linearity is much harder than linear
materials youwould have to know exactly which model you will be using.
i have been made my program to simulate optical fiber in linear and nonlinear case by BOR-FDTD and i used it to simulat Fiber Bragg Grating FBG and the results
in my papers in this link
