In the, relatively, recent fields of nanophotonics and especially plasmonics and metamaterials the theoretical approaches and their related numerical techniques (mainly based on the solution of Maxwell's equations) play an extremely important role. Indeed, a major part of published papers focuses on the numerical simulations when exploring plasmonic/metamaterials/metasurfaces configurations, which is a key step towards design and experimental fulfillment.
The objective of this session is to gather specialists in computational electromagnetics to delve into the latest developments and challenges in simulating nanophotonics, particularly within the areas of plasmonics and metamaterials/metasurfaces. We will focus on innovative, specialized, and efficient methodologies that can act as alternatives to conventional techniques. The session is open to all modeling approaches in nanophotonics across various spectral ranges.
We believe that such a session could be of great interest not only to theoreticians/numericians working on specific computational methods in electromagnetism but also to those (experimentalists/designers) who are interested by applying them to nanophotonics.
