Modeling the field produced by a point-like dipole with an arbitrary location in the presence of a rotationally invariant nanostructure is an important issue in the context of designing nanoantennas. This is a challenging problem, as rotational symmetry is broken when introducing a noncentered dipole. Antennas larger than the wavelength are required for directivity, whereas the dipole-antenna distance is highly subwavelength, so there are two different length scales in the problem. In this paper, we introduce an original S-matrix approach based on an aperiodic-Fourier modal method. The potential of the technique is illustrated by considering three examples. We compare our results with a finite element technique.

We introduce a Domain Decomposition Spectral Method (DDSM) as a solution for Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain. It will be illustrated in the framework of the Aperiodic Fourier Modal Method (AFMM). This method may be applied to compute the electromagnetic field diffracted by a large-scale surface under any kind of incident excitation.

The incorporation of a complex coordinate transformation in the propagation equations allows the modeling of semi-infinite open problems through an artificially periodized space. Hence, the outgoing wave conditions of an open structure must be satisfied.

By comparison with the known methods, we show that the proposed method is efficient for studying resonant properties of long-period photonic crystal slabs and diffraction gratings. We demonstrate that the method can be used to calculate the eigenmodes of the structures with periods up to at least 500λ.

An approach for fully vectorial modeling of cylindrical resonators based on the aperiodic Fourier modal method is proposed. The approach allows efficient and accurate calculations of the resonant wavelength, the quality factor, and the field of the whispering-gallery modes of rotationally symmetric resonators. The validity and the efficiency of the method are confirmed by the converged numerical results with microdisk and microring resonators as examples in comparison with other approaches.

The Fabry-Perot model is proposed to analyze the wavelength-selective transmission behaviors of the metal-dielectric-metal waveguide with a rectangular side-coupled cavity. The guided modes propagating in the waveguide and the cavity are extracted by the aperiodic Fourier modal method (a-FMM). The scattering coefficients that appeared in the model are calculated by the a-FMM and the normal-mode theory.
