Motivation Wish to control light or electromagnetic energy in nano-sized optical devices Problem: optical light has wavelength 1nm Possible Solution - use near-field coupling of light with surface plasmons of metal nanoparticles = arrays of metal nanoparticles become photonic devices = steady or pulsed modes of illumination Excitation Transfer in Nanophotonics ? arrays of metal nanoparticles + substrate represented by spatially varying dielectric constant ? discretized fields E and H on 3D grids ? finite difference solution to Maxwell’s (curl) equations for time and spatial dependence of E and H fields Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method Maxwell’s PDEs , outside nanoparticle: inside nanoparticle ?E(x,t)/?t = ? x H(x,t)/e(x) ?E(x,t)/?t = [? x H(x,t) - J(x,t)]/e∞ ?H(x,t)/?t = -? x E(x,t)/μo ?H(x,t)/?t = -? x E(x,t)/μo ?J(x,t)/?t = eowp2 E(x,t)/μo -nJ(x,t) are discretized in space and time : in general, 6 or more components are represented on a 3D spatial grid and propagated in discrete time steps FDTD Basics : Yee Algorithm based on staggered space and time grids Each E component surrounded by 4 H components Each H component surrounded by 4 E components E and H Leapfrog in time : More Explicitly : Continuous Equations such as Get Replaced by Equations Like: Current ANL Calculations 2D uniform grids (2000 x 2000) over 10000 time steps Silver “nanowire” (nanoscale radius infinite cylinder) arrays considered ? Variety of array configurations examined Example: pulse of vertically polarized, 400 nm light shows 100 nm scale localization when passing (left to right) through a funnel configuration of 30 nm diameter silver nanowires[S. K. Gray and T. Kupka, Phys. Rev. B, submitted (2003).] Future Work Includes : 3D Exten
