Abstract
Using the scattered field finite difference time domain (FDTD) formalism, equations for a plane wave incident from a dense medium onto lossy media are derived. The Richards-Wolf vector field equations are introduced into the scattered field FDTD formalism to model an incident focused beam. The results are compared to Mie theory scattering from spherical lossy dielectric and metallic spheres.
