Abstract

We present exact modal expansions for photonic systems including highly dispersive media. The formulas, based on a simple version of the Keldyš theorem, are very general since both permeability and permittivity can be dispersive, anisotropic, and even possibly nonreciprocal. A simple dispersive test case where both plasmonic and geometrical resonances strongly interact exemplifies the numerical efficiency of our approach.
