Abstract
This paper is concerned with efficient representations and approximations of the solution to the scattering problem by a system of strongly coupled plasmonic particles. Three schemes are developed: the first is the resonant expansion which uses the resonant modes of the system of particles computed by a conformal transformation, the second is the hybridized resonant expansion which uses linear combinations of the resonant modes for each of the particles in the system as a basis to represent the solution, and the last one is the multipole expansion with respect to the origin. By considering a system formed by two plasmonic particles of circular shape, we demonstrate the relations between these expansion schemes and their advantages and disadvantages both analytically and numerically. In particular, we emphasize the efficiency of the resonant expansion scheme in approximating the near field of the system of particles. The difference between these plasmonic particle systems and the nonresonant dielectric particle system is also highlighted. The paper provides a guidance on the challenges for numerical simulations of strongly coupled plasmonic systems.
