Paper Abstract
The use of nano-structured elements in the fabrication of micro-optical subwavelength components requires a
fully vectorial solution to Maxwell's curl equations. In this paper, we compare the results generated by two
of the main methods used in the solution of the curl equations, the Fourier Modal Method (FMM) and the
Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. We address the computational issues surrounding the accurate
modelling of nano-structured elements (with features in the 10nm-100nm range) for a range of micro-optical
elements, e.g. cylindrical lenses, photonic bandgap reflectors and polarisation dependent beamsplitters. Finally,
we show the experimental verification of the nano-structured designs using microwave radiation.
