Abstract :
The periodic analysis of candidate plasmonic topologies for the implementation of left-handed media at optical frequencies is pursued through a triangular mesh based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), equipped with Floquet boundary conditions. The technique is shown to possess excellent convergence and accuracy properties, as opposed to the conventional rectangular cell based FDTD.
