This repository hosts the Matlab based Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) code packages associated with our manuscript titled “STAR-FDTD : Space-time modulated acousto-optic guidestar in disordered media”, Michael Raju, Baptiste Jayet and Stefan Andersson-Engels, Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland. The manuscript is currently under review in Journal of Physics : Photonics, Focus Issue on Foundational Skills and Tools for Building Wavefront Shaping Systems, submitted on Nov 30, 2023. The user manual is provided here within the repository. It is recommended to go through the user manual to understand the directory structure of the code packages.
The code packages and the associated numerical formulations were developed by Michael Raju as part of his PhD thesis. Baptiste Jayet and Prof. Stefan Andersson-Engels were involved in the PhD supervision.
We would like to thank Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) for funding the research through Stefan's professorship grant "Novel applications and techniques for in-vivo optical imaging and spectroscopy” (SFI/15/RP/2828 and SFI/22/RP-2TF/10293).
