Response of a rectangular nanoplasmonic array
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Our first example deals with a plasmonic array made of golden nanoparticles
 placed in a rectangular planar configuration.
 The nanoparticles have shape of right circular cylinder with radius 50
 nm and height 50 nm.
 The particles are placed with periodicities 
\begin_inset Formula $p_{x}=\SI{621}{nm}$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $p_{y}=\SI{571}{nm}$
\end_inset

 into an isotropic medium with a constant refraction index 
\begin_inset Formula $n=1.52$
\end_inset

.
 For gold, we use the optical properties listed in 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset

 interpolated with cubical splines.
 The particles' cylindrical shape is approximated with a triangular mesh
 with XXX boundary elements.

\begin_layout Subsection
Modes of a rectangular nanoplasmonic array
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Next, we study the eigenmode problem of the same rectangular arrays.
 The system is lossy, therefore the eigenfrequencies are complex and we
 need to have a model of the material optical properties also for complex
 frequencies.
 So in this case we use the Drude-Lorentz model for gold with parameters
 as in

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Effects of multipole cutoff
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In order to demonstrate some of the consequences of multipole cutoff, we
 consider a square lattice with periodicity 
\begin_inset Formula $p_{x}=p_{y}=580\,\mathrm{nm}$
\end_inset

 filled with spherical golden nanoparticles (with Drude-Lorentz model for
 permittivity; one sphere per unit cell) embedded in a medium with a constant
 refractive index 
\begin_inset Formula $n=1.52$
\end_inset

.
 We vary the multipole cutoff 
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\max}=1,\dots,5$
\end_inset

 and the particle radius 
\begin_inset Formula $r=50\,\mathrm{nm},\dots,300\,\mathrm{nm}$
\end_inset

 (note that right end of this interval is unphysical, as the spheres touch
 at 
\begin_inset Formula $r=290\,\mathrm{nm}$
\end_inset

) We look at the lattice modes at the 
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset

 point right below the diffracted order crossing at 1.406 eV using Beyn's
 algorithm; the integration contour for Beyn's algorithm being a circle
 with centre at 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega=\left(1.335+0i\right)\mathrm{eV}/\hbar$
\end_inset

 and radius 
\begin_inset Formula $70.3\,\mathrm{meV}/\hbar$
\end_inset

, and 410 sample points.
 We classify each of the found modes as one of the ten irreducible representatio
ns of the corresponding little group at the 
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset

 point, 
\begin_inset Formula $D_{4h}$
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The real and imaginary parts of the obtained mode frequencies are shown
 in Fig.
 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "square lattice var lMax, r at gamma point Au"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

.
 The most obvious (and expected) effect of the cutoff is the reduction of
 the number of modes found: the case 
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\max}=1$
\end_inset

 (dipole-dipole approximation) contains only the modes with nontrivial dipole
 excitations (
\begin_inset Formula $x,y$
\end_inset

 dipoles in 
\begin_inset Formula $\mathrm{E}'$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $z$
\end_inset

 dipole in 
\begin_inset Formula $\mathrm{A_{2}''})$
\end_inset

.
 For relatively small particle sizes, the main effect of increasing 
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\max}$
\end_inset

 is making the higher multipolar modes accessible at all.
 As the particle radius increases, there start to appear more non-negligible
 elements in the 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

-matrix, and the cutoff then affects the mode frequencies as well.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Another effect related to mode finding is, that increasing 
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\max}$
\end_inset

 leads to overall decrease of the lowest singular values of the mode problem
 matrix 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

, so that they are very close to zero for a large frequency area, making
 it harder to determine the exact roots of the mode equation 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:lattice mode equation"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

, which might lead to some spurious results: Fig.
 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "square lattice var lMax, r at gamma point Au"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

 shows modes with positive imaginary frequencies for 
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\max}\ge3$
\end_inset

, which is unphysical (positive imaginary frequency means effective losses
 of the medium, which, together with the lossy particles, prevent emergence
 of propagating modes).
 However, the spurious frequencies can be made disappear by tuning the parameter
s of Beyn's algorithm (namely, stricter residual threshold), but that might
 lead to losing legitimate results as well, especially if they are close
 to the integration contour.
 In such cases, it is often helpful to run Beyn's algorithm several times
 with different contours enclosing smaller frequency areas.
