On the use of a hierarchical multi-level building block basis function scheme in periodic plasmonic structures

摘要

A Volumetric Method of Moments algorithm is applied to predict the plasmonic responses of chiral meta-materials. This algorithm is based on the use of a multilevel building block basis function scheme, in combination with a dedicated Kummer transformation in the calculation of periodic Green's functions. The validity of the algorithm is demonstrated by analyzing a Ninja Star periodic structure. A good agreement can be found between simulation and experiment.
