In this work we consider the problem of modelling of 2D anisotropic dispersive wave propagation in unbounded domains with the help of perfectly matched layers (PMLs). We study the Maxwell equations in passive media with a frequency-dependent diagonal tensor of dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability. An application of the traditional PMLs to this kind of problems often results in instabilities. We provide a recipe for the construction of new, stable PMLs. For a particular case of non-dissipative materials, we show that a known necessary stability condition of the perfectly matched layers is also sufficient. We illustrate our statements with theoretical and numerical arguments.
