Abstract

We present a surface integral equation (SIE) to model the electromagnetic behavior of metallic objects at optical frequencies. The electric and magnetic current combined field integral equation considering both tangential and normal equations is applied. The SIE is solved by using a method-of-moments (MoM) formulation. The SIE-MoM approach is applied only on the material boundary surfaces and interfaces, avoiding the cumbersome volumetric discretization of the objects and the surrounding space required in differential-equation formulations. Some canonical examples have been analyzed, and the results have been compared with analytical reference solutions in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed method. Finally, two plasmonic Yagi–Uda nanoantennas have been analyzed, illustrating the applicability of the method to the solution of real plasmonic problems.
