Numerical simulations of near field optics by boundary and volume integral equation methods

摘要

The two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical simulations of scanning near-field optical microscope by integral equation methods, which are performed in our laboratory, have been reported in this paper. The Guided-Mode Extracted Boundary Integral Equations has been applied to the two-dimensional global-model and the conventional volume integral equation with Generalized Minimum Residual Method has been applied to the simplified three-dimensional global-model. The numerical simulations have revealed basic characteristics of near-field optical microscope.
