Other methods might be already fast enough, but MSTMM will be faster in most cases in which there is enough spacing between the neighboring particles. MSTMM works well with any space group symmetry the system might have (as opposed to, for example, FDTD with a cubic mesh applied to a honeycomb lattice), which makes e.g. application of group theory in mode analysis quite easy. \begin_inset Note Note status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Topology anoyne? \end_layout \end_inset And finally, having a method that handles well both infinite and large finite systems gives a possibility to study finite-size effects in periodic scatterer arrays. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Formulation of the problem \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Let us have a linear system of compact EM scatterers on a homogeneous background as in Section \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "subsec:Multiple-scattering" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset , but this time, the system shall be periodic: let there be a \begin_inset Formula $d$ \end_inset -dimensional ( \begin_inset Formula $d$ \end_inset can be 1, 2 or 3) Bravais lattice embedded into the three-dimensional real space, with lattice vectors \begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \dlv_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{d}$ \end_inset , and let the lattice points be labeled with an \begin_inset Formula $d$ \end_inset -dimensional integer multi-index \begin_inset Formula $\vect n\in\ints^{d}$ \end_inset , so the lattice points have cartesian coordinates \begin_inset Formula $\vect R_{\vect n}=\sum_{i=1}^{d}n_{i}\vect a_{i}$ \end_inset . There can be several scatterers per unit cell with indices \begin_inset Formula $\alpha$ \end_inset from a set \begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}_{1}$ \end_inset and (relative) positions \begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\alpha}$ \end_inset inside the unit cell; any particle of the periodic system can thus be labeled by a multiindex from \begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}=\ints^{d}\times\mathcal{P}_{1}$ \end_inset . The scatterers are located at positions \begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\vect n,\alpha}=\vect R_{\vect n}+\vect r_{\alpha}$ \end_inset and their \begin_inset Formula $T$ \end_inset -matrices are periodic, \begin_inset Formula $T_{\vect n,\alpha}=T_{\alpha}$ \end_inset . In such system, the multiple-scattering problem \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset can be rewritten as \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} \outcoeffp{\vect n,\alpha}-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect m,\beta}=T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect n,\alpha}.\quad\left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\in\mathcal{P}\label{eq:Multiple-scattering problem periodic} \end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Due to periodicity, we can also write \begin_inset Formula $\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}=\tropsp{\alpha}{\beta}\left(\vect R_{\vect m}-\vect R_{\vect n}\right)=\tropsp{\alpha}{\beta}\left(\vect R_{\vect m-\vect n}\right)=\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m-\vect n,\beta}$ \end_inset . Assuming quasi-periodic right-hand side with quasi-momentum \begin_inset Formula $\vect k$ \end_inset , \begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffincp{\vect n,\alpha}=\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}}$ \end_inset , the solutions of \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem periodic" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset will be also quasi-periodic according to Bloch theorem, \begin_inset Formula $\outcoeffp{\vect n,\alpha}=\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}}$ \end_inset , and eq. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem periodic" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset can be rewritten as follows \begin_inset Formula \begin{align} \outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}}-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}},\nonumber \\ \outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m-\vect n,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m-\vect n}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right),\nonumber \\ \outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect 0,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right),\nonumber \\ \outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\beta\in\mathcal{P}}W_{\alpha\beta}\left(\vect k\right)\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right) & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right),\label{eq:Multiple-scattering problem unit cell} \end{align} \end_inset so we reduced the initial scattering problem to one involving only the field expansion coefficients from a single unit cell, but we need to compute the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset lattice Fourier transform \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset of the translation operator, \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{\alpha\beta}(\vect k)\equiv\sum_{\vect m\in\ints^{d}}\left(1-\delta_{\alpha\beta}\delta_{\vect m\vect 0}\right)\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m}},\label{eq:W definition} \end{equation} \end_inset evaluation of which is possible but rather non-trivial due to the infinite lattice sum, so we cover it separately in Sect. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "subsec:W operator evaluation" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As in the case of a finite system, eq. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem unit cell" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset can be written in a shorter block-matrix form, \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} \left(I-TW\right)\outcoeffp{\vect 0}\left(\vect k\right)=T\rcoeffincp{\vect 0}\left(\vect k\right)\label{eq:Multiple-scattering problem unit cell block form} \end{equation} \end_inset Eq. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem unit cell" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset can be used to calculate electromagnetic response of the structure to external quasiperiodic driving field – most notably a plane wave. However, the non-trivial solutions of the equation with right hand side (i.e. the external driving) set to zero, \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} \left(I-TW\right)\outcoeffp{\vect 0}\left(\vect k\right)=0,\label{eq:lattice mode equation} \end{equation} \end_inset describes the \emph on lattice modes. \emph default Non-trivial solutions to \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:lattice mode equation" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset exist if the matrix on the left-hand side \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)=\left(I-T\left(\omega\right)W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)\right)$ \end_inset is singular – this condition gives the \emph on dispersion relation \emph default for the periodic structure. Note that in realistic (lossy) systems, at least one of the pair \begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$ \end_inset will acquire complex values. The solution \begin_inset Formula $\outcoeffp{\vect 0}\left(\vect k\right)$ \end_inset is then obtained as the right \begin_inset Note Note status open \begin_layout Plain Layout CHECK! \end_layout \end_inset singular vector of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset corresponding to the zero singular value. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Loss in the scatterers causes the solutions of \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:lattice mode equation" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset shift to complex frequencies. If the background medium has constant real refractive index \begin_inset Formula $n$ \end_inset , negative (or positive) imaginary part of the frequency \begin_inset Formula $\omega$ \end_inset causes an artificial gain (or loss) in the medium, which manifests itself as exponential magnification (or attenuation) of the radial parts of the translation operators, \begin_inset Formula $h_{l}^{\left(1\right)}\left(rn\omega/c\right)$ \end_inset , w.r.t. the distance; the gain might then balance the losses in particles, resulting in sustained modes satisfying eq. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:lattice mode equation" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset . \begin_inset Note Note status open \begin_layout Plain Layout The gain in the system introduces some challenges, which we will discuss in Section \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "subsec:Physical-interpretation-of" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Numerical solution \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In practice, equation \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem unit cell block form" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset is solved in the same way as eq. \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem block form" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset in the multipole degree truncated form. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The lattice mode problem \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:lattice mode equation" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset is (after multipole degree truncation) solved by finding \begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$ \end_inset for which the matrix \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset has a zero singular value. A naïve approach to do that is to sample a volume with a grid in the \begin_inset Formula $\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset space, performing a singular value decomposition of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset at each point and finding where the lowest singular value of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset is close enough to zero. However, this approach is quite expensive, since \begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset has to be evaluated for each \begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$ \end_inset pair separately (unlike the original finite case \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Multiple-scattering problem block form" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset translation operator \begin_inset Formula $\trops$ \end_inset , which, for a given geometry, depends only on frequency). Therefore, a much more efficient but not completely robust approach to determine the photonic bands is to sample the \begin_inset Formula $\vect k$ \end_inset -space (a whole Brillouin zone or its part) and for each fixed \begin_inset Formula $\vect k$ \end_inset to find a corresponding frequency \begin_inset Formula $\omega$ \end_inset with zero singular value of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset using a minimisation algorithm (two- or one-dimensional, depending on whether one needs the exact complex-valued \begin_inset Formula $\omega$ \end_inset or whether the its real-valued approximation is satisfactory). Typically, a good initial guess for \begin_inset Formula $\omega\left(\vect k\right)$ \end_inset is obtained from the empty lattice approximation, \begin_inset Formula $\left|\vect k\right|=\sqrt{\epsilon\mu}\omega/c_{0}$ \end_inset (modulo reciprocal lattice points \begin_inset Note Note status open \begin_layout Plain Layout TODO write this in a clean way \end_layout \end_inset ). A somehow challenging step is to distinguish the different bands that can all be very close to the empty lattice approximation, especially if the particles in the system are small. In high-symmetry points of the Brilloin zone, this can be solved by factorising \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset into irreducible representations \begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{i}$ \end_inset and performing the minimisation in each irrep separately, cf. Section \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Symmetries" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset , and using the different \begin_inset Formula $\omega_{\Gamma_{i}}\left(\vect k\right)$ \end_inset to obtain the initial guesses for the nearby points \begin_inset Formula $\vect k+\delta\vect k$ \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard An alternative, faster and more robust approach to generic minimisation algorithms are eigensolvers for nonlinear eigenvalue problems based on contour integration \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "beyn_integral_2012,gavin_feast_2018" literal "false" \end_inset which are able to find the roots of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)=0$ \end_inset inside an area enclosed by a given complex frequency plane contour, assuming that \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset is an analytical function of \begin_inset Formula $\omega$ \end_inset inside the contour. A necessary prerequisite for this is that all the ingredients of \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset are analytical as well. It practice, this usually means that interpolation cannot be used in a straightforward way for material properties or \begin_inset Formula $T$ \end_inset -matrices. For material response, constant permittivity or Drude-Lorentz models suit this purpose well. The need to evaluate the \begin_inset Formula $T$ \end_inset -matrices precisely (without the speedup provided by interpolation) at many points might cause a performance bottleneck for scatterers with more complicate d shapes. And finally, the integration contour has to evade any branch cuts appearing in the lattice-summed translation operator \begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset , as described in the following and illustrated in Fig. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "fig:ewald branch cuts" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Float figure placement document alignment document wide false sideways false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \align center \begin_inset Graphics filename figs/ewald_branchcuts.pdf width 100col% \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Caption Standard \begin_layout Plain Layout Left: Illustration of branch cuts in \begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$ \end_inset obtained using Ewald summation over two-dimensional square lattice in three-dim ensional space filled with dielectric medium with constant real refraction index \begin_inset Formula $n$ \end_inset and wavenumber \begin_inset Formula $\kappa\left(\omega\right)=\omega n/c$ \end_inset . The function is holomorphic in the positive imaginary half-plane. The points corresponding to the diffraction orders of an \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset empty \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset lattice lie on the real axis (pink), and from each of them two branch cuts originate: one due to the branch cut in the incomplete \begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$ \end_inset function (orange, hyperbolic shape), and another due to the branch cut of \begin_inset Formula $\gamma(z)$ \end_inset as defined in \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:lilgamma_old" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset (blue, circular shape). Further non-analyticities might stem from the material model: the violet curve represents a branch cut originating from a complex square root in the refractive index \begin_inset Formula $n_{\mathrm{Au}}\left(\omega\right)=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{\mathrm{Au}}\left(\omega\right)}$ \end_inset , where \begin_inset Formula $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{Au}}\left(\omega\right)$ \end_inset is the Drude-Lorentz permittivity model of gold used for the scatterers.

(TODO few notes on integration and reciprocal lattices in some appendix) \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset The problem of poorly converging lattice sums can be solved by decomposing the lattice-summed function into two parts: a short-range part that decays fast and can be summed directly, and a long-range part which decays poorly but is fairly smooth everywhere, so that its Fourier transform decays fast enough, and to deal with the long range part by Poisson summation over the reciprocal lattice. This idea dates back to Ewald \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "ewald_berechnung_1921" literal "false" \end_inset who solved the problem for electrostatic potentials (Green's functions for Laplace's equation). For linear electrodynamic problems, ruled by Helmholtz equation, the same basic idea can be used as well, resulting in exponentially convergent summation formulae, but the technical details are considerably more complicated than in electrostatics. For the scalar Helmholtz equation in three dimensions, the formulae were developed by Ham & Segall \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "ham_energy_1961" literal "false" \end_inset for 3D periodicity, Kambe \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "kambe_theory_1967,kambe_theory_1967-1,kambe_theory_1968" literal "false" \end_inset for 2D periodicity and Moroz \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "moroz_quasi-periodic_2006" literal "false" \end_inset for 1D periodicity.

As a consequence, if we now explicitly label the dependence on the wavenumber, \begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{L},\eta\right)}\left(\kappa,\vect k,\vect s\right)$ \end_inset has branch points at \begin_inset Formula $\kappa=\left|\vect k+\vect K\right|$ \end_inset for every reciprocal lattice vector \begin_inset Formula $\vect K$ \end_inset . If the wavenumber \begin_inset Formula $\kappa$ \end_inset of the medium has a positive imaginary part, \begin_inset Formula $\Im\kappa>0$ \end_inset , then the translation operator elements \begin_inset Formula $\trops_{\tau lm;\tau'l'm}\left(\kappa\vect r\right)$ \end_inset decay exponentially as \begin_inset Formula $\left|\vect r\right|\to\infty$ \end_inset and the lattice sum in \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:W definition" plural "false" caps "false" noprefix "false" \end_inset converges absolutely even in the direct space, and it is equal to the Ewald sum with the principal branches used both in \begin_inset Formula $\gamma\left(z\right)$ \end_inset and \begin_inset Formula $\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}-j,z\right)$ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "linton_lattice_2010" literal "false" \end_inset .

The principal value of \begin_inset Formula $\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}-j,z\right)$ \end_inset has a branch cut at the negative real half-axis, which, considering the lattice sum as a function of \begin_inset Formula $\kappa$ \end_inset , translates into branch cuts starting at \begin_inset Formula $\kappa=\left|\vect k+\vect K\right|$ \end_inset and continuing in straight lines towards \begin_inset Formula $+\infty$ \end_inset .
