Abstract :
Numerical simulation is a useful tool for evaluating new technologies. In order to analyze new plasmonic and photonic band-gap devices we have re-written and extended our finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulator, TEMPEST, into a guided-wave analysis system. We illustrate our new simulation capabilities with investigations into two devices: 1) a sub-wavelength grating mirror, and 2) plasmon-enhanced Daguerreotype photographs.
