However, the potential of MSTMM reaches far beyond its past implementations.
Here we present several enhancements to the method, which are especially
useful in metamaterial and nanophotonics simulations.
We extend the method on infinite periodic systems using Ewald-type summation
techniques.
This enables, among other things, to use MSTMM for fast solving of the
lattice modes of such periodic systems, and comparing them to their finite
counterparts with respect to electromagnetic response, which is useful
to isolate the bulk and finite-size phenomena of photonic arrays.
Moreover, we exploit symmetries of the system to decompose the problem
into several substantially smaller ones, which provides better understanding
of modes, mainly in periodic systems, and substantially reduces the demands
on computational resources, hence speeding up the computations and allowing
for finite size simulations of systems with particle counts practically
impossible to reliably simulate with any other method.

Here we address both challenges: we extend the method on infinite periodic
systems using Ewald-type summation techniques, and we exploit symmetries
of the system to decompose the problem into several substantially smaller
ones, which 1) reduces the demands on computational resources, hence speeds
up the computations and allows for simulations of larger systems, and 2)
provides better understanding of modes, mainly in periodic systems.
