Convergence analysis of the thermal discrete dipole approximation.
The thermal discrete dipole approximation (T-DDA) is a numerical approach for modeling near-field radiative heat transfer in complex three-dimensional geometries. In this work, the convergence of the T-DDA is investigated by comparison against the exact results for two spheres separated by a vacuum gap. The error associated with the T-DDA is reported for various sphere sizes, refractive indices...
متن کاملVector diffraction analysis by discrete-dipole approximation.
The discrete-dipole approximation is applied to vector diffraction analysis in a system with large-numerical-aperture (NA) optics and subwavelength targets. Distributions of light diffracted by subwavelength dielectric targets are calculated in a solid angle that corresponds to a NA of 0.9, and their dependence on incident polarization, target shape, and target size is studied. Electric field d...
متن کاملImprovements of the Discrete Dipole Approximation method
We report improvements in complex conjugate gradient algorithms applied to the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). It is shown that computational time is reduced by using the BiCGSTAB version of the CG algorithm, with diagonal left preconditioning.
متن کاملValidity criteria of the discrete dipole approximation.
There are two widely accepted restrictions on the application of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in the study of light scattering by particles comparable to the wavelength: (1) when considering dielectric particles, the size of the cells must satisfy the condition kd|m|<0.5, where k is the wavenumber, d is the size of the cells, and m is the complex refractive index of the constituent m...
متن کاملRadiation forces in the discrete-dipole approximation.
The theory of the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) for light scattering is extended to allow for the calculation of radiation forces on each dipole in the DDA model. Starting with the theory of Draine and Weingartner [Astrophys. J. 470, 551 (1996)] we derive an expression for the radiation force on each dipole. These expressions are reformulated into discrete convolutions, allowing for an ef...
