Abstract	:	The scope of this thesis is two-fold. (1) To optimize the waveguide exposuresystem incorporating a cell perfusion apparatus (CPA) so as to provide maximumhomogeneity of the electromagnetic fields (EMF) and specific absorption rate (SAR) inthe region containing the biological cells. (2) To provide a detailed characterization of theEMF and SAR at the location of the cells. These two goals were achieved via numericalFDTD modeling. Macroscopic modeling was performed where the minimum Yee cellsize used in the FDTD model was a fraction of a millimeter, representing accurately thewaveguide and CPA physical structures. Preliminary microscopic modeling was alsoaccomplished where the minimum Yee cell size was on the order of 0.1 pm, making itpossible to take into account the basic morphological features of bovine adrenal medullar.
