Abstract :
In this paper, a parallel three-dimensional dispersive FDTD method is introduced to model a nanolens. The device has its potential in subwavelength imaging at optical frequencies. The finiteness of such a nano-device and its impact on the system dynamic behavior is numerically exploited.
