The code assumes a two-dimensional computational domain with TMz polarization (i.e., non-zero field Ez, Hx, and Hy). The program is currently written so that the incident field always strikes the lower-left corner of the total-field REGION first. (If you want a different corner, that should be a fairly simple tweak to the code, but for now you ll have to make that tweak yourself.) I have attempted to provide copious comments in the code and hope that a knowledgeable C programmer can quickly map the approach as described in the paper to what is in the program.
The tar file contains the following files:
ptfsf.c: heart of the perfect TFSF code
ptfsf.h: header file for same
ptfsf-demo.c: FDTD code which demonstrates use of perfect TFSF code. Essentially this program used to generate results shown in the paper
ptfsf-file-maker.c: code to generate an incident-field file using the "perfect" incident fields
ptfsf-demo-file.c: FDTD code which uses the perfect incident fields stored in a file
fdtdgen.h: defines macros used in much of my code
Makefile: simple make-file to compile programs
Also include are some simple script files to run the programs with reasonable values.

BmpRgn is a *FREEWARE* unit that allows you to create forms
with transparent areas based on a bitmap that you provide.
The bitmap is converted to a form REGION, where only the
interior pixels are displayed. The transparent border remains
transparent.
