Although large finite systems are where MSTMM excels the most, there are
several reasons that makes its extension to infinite lattices (where periodic
boundary conditions might be applied) desirable as well.
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.

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.

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 set
\begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}_{1}$
\end_inset
and (relative) positions inside the unit cell
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\alpha}$
\end_inset
; 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

\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

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

\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

However, the non-trivial solutions of the equation with right hand side
(i.e.
the external driving) set to zero,

\left(I-TW\right)\outcoeffp{\vect 0}\left(\vect k\right)=0,\label{eq:lattice mode equation}

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, more robust approach to generic minimisation algorithms
is Beyn's contour integral method
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "beyn_integral_2012"
literal "false"
\end_inset
which finds 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 $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$

The problem of poorly converging lattice sums has been originally solved
for electrostatic potentials with Ewald summation
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset
.
Its basic idea is to decompose the lattice-summed function in two parts:
a short-range part that decays fast and can be summed directly, and a long-rang
e 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.
The same idea can be used also in the case of linear electrodynamic problems,
just the technical details are more complicated than in electrostatics.

\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)=\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{S},\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)+\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{L},\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)$
\end_inset
depending on a positive parameter
\begin_inset Formula $\eta$
\end_inset
.
The short-range part has in all three cases the same form:

The formal
\begin_inset Formula $\left(1-\delta_{\vect{R_{n}},-\vect s}\right)$
\end_inset
factor here accounts for leaving out the direct excitation of a particle
by itself, corresponding to the

The leaving out then causes an additional (

Strictly speaking, this is not a

keep it in

\end_inset
for formal convenience.

\end{equation}
\end_inset
Here
\begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{A}$
\end_inset
is the unit cell volume (or length/area in the 1D/2D lattice cases).
The sums are taken over the reciprocal lattice
\begin_inset Formula $\Lambda^{*}$
\end_inset
with lattice vectors
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \vect b_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{d}$
\end_inset
satisfying

\begin_inset Formula
\begin{equation}
\gamma\left(z\right)=\left(z-1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\left(z+1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}},\quad-\frac{3\pi}{2}<\arg\left(z-1\right)<\frac{\pi}{2},-\frac{\pi}{2}<\arg\left(z+1\right)<\frac{3\pi}{2}.\label{eq:lilgamma}
\end{equation}
\end_inset
The Ewald parameter
\begin_inset Formula $\eta$
\end_inset
determines the pace of convergence of both parts.
The larger
\begin_inset Formula $\eta$
\end_inset
is, the faster
\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{S},\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)$
\end_inset
converges but the slower
\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(L,\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)$
\end_inset
converges.
Therefore (based on the lattice geometry) it has to be adjusted in a way
that a reasonable amount of terms needs to be evaluated numerically from
both
\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{S},\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{l,m}^{\left(\mathrm{L},\eta\right)}\left(\vect k,\vect s\right)$
\end_inset
.
For one-dimensional, square, and cubic lattices, the optimal choice is
\begin_inset Formula $\eta=\sqrt{\pi}/p$
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $p$
\end_inset
is the direct lattice period

For a two-dimensional lattice, the incomplete
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset
-function
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}-j,z\right)$
\end_inset
in the long-range part has a branch point at
\begin_inset Formula $z=0$
\end_inset
and special care has to be taken when choosing the appropriate branch.
If the wavenumber 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 value of the incomplete
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset
function being used in
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:Ewald in 3D long-range part 1D 2D"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\end_inset
.
For other values of
\begin_inset Formula $\kappa$
\end_inset
, the branch choice is made in such way that
\begin_inset Formula $W_{\alpha\beta}\left(\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
is analytically continued even when the wavenumber's imaginary part crosses
the real axis.
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
.
Therefore, in the quadrant
\begin_inset Formula $\Re z<0,\Im z\ge0$
\end_inset
we use the continuation of the principal value from
\begin_inset Formula $\Re z<0,\Im z<0$
\end_inset
instead of the principal branch

, moving the branch cut in the
\begin_inset Formula $z$
\end_inset

This moves the branch cuts w.r.t.
