Abstract

Optical devices and artificial photonic materials frequently make use of periodic arrangements of identical scatterers in 3D, 2D, and 1D, e.g. photonic crystals, meta-surfaces, or particle chains. To simplify their analysis, we present here a computational framework based on the T-matrix method that explicitly exploits spherical, cylindrical, and plane waves depending on the geometry and number of dimensions of the lattice. Due to the analytic properties of the chosen basis sets in combination with the use of Ewald’s method for the lattice summation, we obtain an efficient framework to simulate such systems. The applicability will be illustrated at the conference by means of selected examples of contemporary interest.
