N2 - Fundamentals of the three-dimensional spatial
harmonic analysis (SHA) approach are reviewed, and the advantages
of a fast-converging formulation versus the initial
SHA formulation are emphasized with examples using periodic
plasmonic nanostructures. First, two independent parallel
versions of both formulations are implemented using the
scattering matrix algorithm for multilayer cascading. Then,
by comparing the results from both formulations, it is shown
that choosing an advanced fast-converging scheme could be
essential for accurate and efficient modeling of plasmonic
structures. Important obstacles to the fast parallel implementation
of this approach are also revealed. The results of
test simulations are validated using the data obtained from
a commercial finite-element method (FEM) simulations and
from the experimental characterization of fabricated samples.
