This Letter discusses the computation of scattering by thin lossy nondispersive dielectrics using the finite‐difference time‐domain (FD‐TD) method. The time‐domain relationship between the electric fields normal to a lossy material boundary is used in a “smart cell” approach which allows the thickness of the dielectric to be less than the spatial grid size. These results are compared to the “brute force” FD‐TD approach. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.
