Optical properties of spatially ordered nanocomposites consisting of spherical dielectric nanoparticles have been investigated. We proposed an analytical solution allowing us to use simple Airy formulas (“imaginary boundary” method) to describe interaction of a light with an ordered nanostructure without averaging of optical constants over the volume. We show the good agreement with strict numerical simulations’ results.
Key words: metamaterial, Airy formulae, imaginary boundary.
