          Abstract

          A construction of prismatic Hardy space infinite elements to discretize wave equations on unbounded domains \(\Omega\) in \(H^1_{loc}(\Omega)\), \(H_{loc}(curl;\Omega)\) and \(H_{loc}(div;\Omega)\) is presented. As our motivation is to solve Maxwell's equations we take care that these infinite elements fit into the discrete de Rham diagram, i.e. they span discrete spaces, which together with the exterior derivative form an exact sequence. Resonance as well as scattering problems are considered in the examples. Numerical tests indicate super-algebraic convergence in the number of additional unknowns per degree of freedom on the coupling boundary that are required to realize the Dirichlet to Neumann map.

              Gold helix photonic metamaterials: a numerical parameter study.

              We have recently shown that metamaterials composed of three-dimensional gold helices periodically arranged on a square lattice can be used as compact "thin-film" circular polarizers with one octave bandwidth. The physics of the motif of these artificial crystals is closely related to that of microwave sub-wavelength helical antennas in end-fire geometry. Here, we systematically study the dependence of the metamaterial's chiral optical properties on helix pitch, helix radius, two-dimensional lattice constant, wire radius, number of helix pitches, and angle of incidence. Our numerical calculations show that the optical properties are governed by resonances of the individual helices, yet modified by interaction effects. Furthermore, our study shows possibilities and limitations regarding performance optimization.
