ABSTRACT
We propose an efficient method for calculating the electromagnetic field of a large-scale array of optical nanoresonators based on the coupling theory of quasinormal mode (QNM). In this method, two approaches of the scattered-field reconstruction and stationary-phase-principle calculated plane-wave expansion are developed to obtain the regularized QNM (RQNM) in different regions. This accurate and efficient calculation of RQNM resolves the far-field divergence issue of QNMs in the QNM-coupling theory, thus enabling a rapid computation of the electromagnetic field of a large-scale array of optical nanoresonators, which is a challenging task for full-wave numerical methods. Using this method, we consider the numerical example of the radiation problem of a single point source in a large-scale periodic array of optical nanoantennas. In comparison to full-wave numerical methods, this method significantly reduces the computation time by 1â¼2 orders of magnitude while maintaining accuracy. The high computational efficiency and physical intuitiveness of the method enables to clarify the impact of array size (exceeding 50 × 50 wavelengths), period and field-coupling range (far beyond the tight-binding approximation) on the optical response. The proposed method and results can provide an efficient tool and guidance for the design of large-scale arrays of optical nanoresonators.
