We present computationally intensive analysis and optimizations of nanoantenna arrays made of dielectric or metallic elements. Scattering and radiation characteristics of the arrays are obtained by using surface integral equations that can be used for penetrable objects, including plasmonic structures. Optimizations are performed via genetic algorithms, while the required thousands of trials are performed efficiently by using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Numerical results involving arrays of nanocubes with removed elements for achieving maximum scattering and radiation of electromagnetic fields at desired directions demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed simulation and optimization mechanism.

Computational Analysis of Nanoantenna Arrays for Nanoparticle Detection Isiklar, Goktug; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01) We present computational analysis of nanoantenna arrays when they are used to detect and identify nearby nanoparticles. Solutions of frequency-domain scattering problems are performed by using a surface-integral-equation formulation that is suitable for composite structures involving metallic, dielectric, magnetic, and/or plasmonic objects. Acceleration is further achieved via the multilevel fast multipole algorithm that is developed for composite structures. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of...
Multifrequency and multidirection optimizations of antenna arrays using heuristic algorithms and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm Onol, Can; Alkis, Sena; Gokce, Ozer; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-07-01) We consider fast and efficient optimizations of arrays involving three-dimensional antennas with arbitrary shapes and geometries. Heuristic algorithms, particularly genetic algorithms, are used for optimizations, while the required solutions are carried out accurately and efficiently via the multilevel fast multipole algorithm(MLFMA). The superposition principle is employed to reduce the number of MLFMA solutions to the number of array elements per frequency. The developed mechanism is used to optimize arra...
Parallel-MLFMA Solutions of Large-Scale Problems Involving Composite Objects Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-07-14) We present a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) for fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving composite objects with dielectric and metallic parts. Problems are formulated with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively with MLFMA on distributed-memory architectures. Numerical examples involving canonical and complicated objects, such as optical metamaterials, are presented to...
Computational Electromagnetic Analysis of Deformed Nanowires Using the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Yilmaz, Akif; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2015-02-16) We consider computational analysis of deformed nanowires and their arrays using a full-wave simulation environment based on integral-equation formulations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Without requiring any periodicity assumptions, MLFMA allows for fast and accurate simulations of complex nanowire structures with three-dimensional geometries and random deformations. We present the results of hundreds of simulations, where deformed nanowires are considered as isolated, as well as in ar...
Computational design of nanoantennas with improved power enhancement capabilities via shape optimization Işiklar, Göktuǧ; Yazar, Şirin; İbili, Hande; Onay, Gülten; El Ahdab, Zeina; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2023-01-01) Computational design and analyses of nanoantennas obtained via surface shape optimization are presented. Starting with a kernel geometry, free deformations are applied on selected surfaces to reach optimal designs that can provide improved power enhancement capabilities at desired frequencies. An in-house implementation of genetic algorithms is efficiently combined with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm developed for accurate solutions of plasmonic problems to construct the effective optimization envi...
