    Abstract:
    A spectral-element time-domain (SETD) method based on Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) polynomials is presented to solve Maxwell's equations. The proposed SETD method combines the advantages of spectral accuracy with the geometric flexibility of unstructured grids. In addition, a 4th-order Runge-Kutta method for time integration provides high-order accuracy and thus reduces the temporal discretization errors. The numerical results demonstrate its spectral accuracy with the order of basis function and show the high efficiency of the proposed method due to its exponential convergence
