We present computational analysis of optical chiral metamaterials that consist of helical metallic elements. At optical frequencies, metals are modeled as penetrable objects with plasmonic properties. A rigorous implementation based on boundary element methods and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is used for efficient and accurate analysis of three-dimensional structures. Numerical results demonstrate interesting polarization-rotating characteristics of such arrays with helical elements, as well as their complex responses depending on geometric parameters.

Fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving lossy dielectric objects with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-03-01) Fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetic scattering problems involving lossy dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with two recently developed formulations, namely, the combined-tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE), and solved iteratively using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Iterative solutions and accuracy of the results are investigated in detail for diverse geometries, frequencies, and con...
Accurate solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with surface integral equations Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-11-16) We present the stabilization of the surface integral equationsfor accurate solutions of scattering problems involvinglow-contrast dielectric objects. Unlike volume formulations,conventional surface formulations fail to provide accurateresults for the scatteredfields when the contrast of theobject is small. Therefore, surface formulations are requiredto be stabilized by extracting the nonradiating parts of theequivalent currents. In addition to previous strategies forthe stabilization, we introduce a n...
Computational Design of Optical Couplers for Bended Nanowire Transmission Lines Tuncyurek, Yunus Emre; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-07-01) We present computational analysis, optimization, and design of optical couplers that can be useful to improve the transmission along bended nanowires. After demonstrating the deteriorated energy transmission due to sharp bends, which lead to out-of-phase nanowires and diffraction, we use a rigorous simulation environment to design efficient couplers made of spherical particles. For this purpose, an optimization module based on genetic algorithms is combined with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm, lead...
Modified Combined Tangential Formulation for Stable and Accurate Analysis of Plasmonic Structures Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-05-01) We consider a modified combined tangential formulation (MCTF) for stable and accurate analysis of plasmonic problems involving metallic objects modeled as penetrable bodies. For a wide range of negative real permittivity values, corresponding to varying characteristics of metals at THz, infrared, and visible frequencies, MCTF provides accurate solutions in comparison to the conventional formulations for penetrable objects. We further show that, for structures with subwavelength dimensions, penetrable models...
A Comparative Study of Surface Integral Equations for Accurate and Efficient Analysis of Plasmonic Structures Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Yilmaz, Akif; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-06-01) Surface integral equations, which are commonly used in electromagnetic simulations, have recently been applied to various plasmonic problems, while there is still no complete agreement on which formulations provide accurate and efficient solutions. In this paper, we present the strong material dependences of the conventional formulations, revealing their contradictory performances for different problems. We further explain the numerical problems in the constructed matrix equations, shedding light on the des...
