TY - GEN A1 - Zschiedrich, Lin A1 - Klose, Roland A1 - Schädle, Achim A1 - Schmidt, Frank T1 - A new Finite Element realization of the Perfectly Matched Layer Method for Helmholtz scattering problems on polygonal domains in 2D N2 - In this paper we propose a new finite element realization of the Perfectly Matched Layer method (PML-method). Our approach allows to deal with arbitrary shaped polygonal domains and with certain types of inhomogeneous exterior domains. Among the covered inhomogeneities are open waveguide structures playing an essential role in integrated optics. We give a detailed insight to implementation aspects. Numerical examples show exponential convergence behavior to the exact solution with the thickness of the PML sponge layer.
