Electromagnetic Field Interaction with Nanocylinders

Interaction between electromagnetic fields and nanostructures in the size of wavelength of the light must be studied with rigorous Maxwell solvers. By integrating the perfectly matched layers (PMLs) technique with the Fourier modal method (FMM), the modeling of aperiodic nanostructures is enabled in VirtualLab Fusion. As an example, the interaction between a focused Gaussian beam and nanocylinders with varying diameters is investigated, and the polarization-dependent effect is shown.
