Abstract

A new expansion set, layered geometry Green's functions, is introduced in the Multiple Multipole Program (MMP) contained in OpenMaX. It is shown that, with the new expansions, since the necessity of matching the boundary conditions in the layered geometry is eliminated, the complexity of the problems including layered geometries is decreased. Some hints for the derivation of the layered geometry Green's functions and for using them in the OpenMaX package are provided. The robustness and the efficiency of the new expansions are illustrated by various numerical examples, including layered geometries that support guided waves and surface plasmon polaritons (SPP).
