Solution of 2D vector nonlinear Maxwell's equations is described for material media with linear and nonlinear instantaneous and Lorentz dispersion effects in the electric polarization. Finite difference time domain method is used in the analysis. The method discussed here achieves robustness by enforcing vector-field boundary conditions at all interfaces of dissimilar media.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under joint Ballistic Missile and Defense Organization/Air Force and NASA/Eos Atmospheric Infrared Sounder sponsorship, is conducting extensive space cryocooler characterization to provide a reliable and accurate data base on cryocooler performance for use by the space community.
The dramatic increase in performance over the last decade for microporcessor computations is compared with that for the supercomputer computations. This performance, the projected performance, and a number of other issues such as cost and the inherent pysical limitations in curent supercomputer technology have naturally led to parallel supercomputers and ensemble of interconnected microprocessors.
The proposed Small Solar Probe mission features a close approach to the sun with a perihelion of 4 R subscript s. Carbon molecules emitted from the spacecraft's heat shield will become ionized by electron impact and photoionization.
Current computational developments at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are motivated by the NASA/JPL goal of reducing payload in future space missions while increasing mission capability through miniaturization of active and passive sensors, analytical instruments and communication systems.
