Method of the “imaginary boundary” in the study of the optical properties of ordered nanostructures
Abstract
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.
Supporting agencies: The study was funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under research projects No. 12-02-97036-r_povolzhye_a and No. 12-02-31423-mol_a, as well as by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation under the Federal Target Program "Human Resources" for 2012-2013
