الوصف: Numerical modeling of electromagnetic waves is an important tool for understanding the interaction of light and matter, and lies at the core of computational electromagnetics. Traditional approaches to injecting and evolving electromagnetic waves, however, can be prohibitively expensive and complex for emerging problems of interest and can restrict the comparisons that can be made between simulation and theory. As an alternative, we demonstrate that electromagnetic waves can be incorporated analytically by decomposing the physics equations into analytic and computational parts. In particle-in-cell simulation of laser--plasma interaction, for example, treating the laser pulse analytically enables direct examination of the validity of approximate solutions to Maxwell's equations including Laguerre--Gaussian beams, allows lower-dimensional simulations to capture 3-D--like focusing, and facilitates the modeling of novel space--time structured laser pulses such as the flying focus. The flexibility and new routes to computational savings introduced by this analytic pulse technique are expected to enable new simulation directions and significantly reduce computational cost in existing areas.
