Numerically Efficient Technique for Metamaterial Modeling (Invited Paper)

In this paper we present two simulation techniques for modeling periodic structures with three-dimensional elements in general. The flrst of these is based on the Method of Moments (MoM) and is suitable for thin-wire structures, which could be either PEC or plasmonic, e.g., nanowires at optical wavelengths. The second is a Finite Difierence Time Domain (FDTD)-based approach, which is well suited for handling arbitrary, inhomogeneous, three-dimensional periodic structures. Neither of the two approaches make use of the traditional Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBCs), and are free from the di-culties encountered in the application of the PBC, as for instance slowness in convergence (MoM) and instabilities (FDTD).
