Modeling the Optical Response of Metallic Nanostructures in the Discontinuous Galerkin Time-Domain Method — •Christopher Prohm1, Michael König1,2, Jens Niegemann1,2, and Kurt Busch1,2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Festkörperphysik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie — 2DFG Forschungszentrum Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN), Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
The discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method (DGTD) combines the highly flexible spatial discretization of finite-element methods with the possibility to investigate nanophotonic systems in the time-domain. Here, we investigate the interaction of three-dimensional metallic nanostructures with an incoming light field. In particular, we discuss the linear modeling of the dielectric function of metals via a combination of Drude and Lorentz terms. Furthermore, we present some results on the nonlinear modeling of the metallic response by using a hydrodynamic model.
