Modelling of hundreds of wavelength long, highly resonant, 3D subwavelength patterned scattering structures
文摘
In this paper, we study the performances of the Dipole Discrete Approximation method for modelling the reflectivity of a highly resonant, 3D subwavelength patterned structure extending over tens of thousands wavelength square. The computation time of the whole reflectivity spectrum (80 wavelengths) was about 3 h on a computer and requires about 1.5 GB in memory. These performances make the DDA an unique numerical tool for modelling the scattering by large 3D structures supporting long-range interactions.
