space by an iterative proces. This technique refines the field values during each itera-
tion step, until a desired accuracy is achieved. Adjustment of the discrete field operators
allows the use of the total field/scattered field formalism and PMLs as absorbing bound-
aries. Extending the iterative process with an extra calculation step allows simulating
materials with thenon-linear third order Kerr effect.
