Abstract
We employ the pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) simulation to model light propagation through a cluster of dielectric cylinders and investigate the transmission of light. Specifically, we model light propagation through a cornea-like geometry vs. a sclera-like geometry. Simulations show that due to light wave interference, light can be transmitted through a cluster geometry, or, it can be blocked by the cluster geometry, depending on the specific geometrical structure. We explore factors that may contribute to this phenomenon; the simulation findings may provide essential information to analyze this problem.
