Broadband Green'
s function computing technique that employs low
wavenumber extraction, obtains fast frequency independent
modal band solutions and achieves fast convergence of
modal expansions, is used to model and design electromagnetic wave behavior of signals in
artificial materials with periodic structures, including metamaterials, photonic crystals, and phononic crystals, which are used for smart
microwave devices, photonic devices, and acoustic devices. The
Broadband Green'
s function is a general response function for
artificial materials and is used to model bandgaps, bandpasses, impurities, defects, displacements of scatterers, and to formulate integral equations for periodic scatters in a finite volume. Designs of metamaterials, photonic crystals, and phononic crystals enable controlling the
waves through bandpasses, bandgaps,
surface states, polarizations, defects, absorption, enhancement,
refraction, substrates, and guidance. The
Broadband Green'
s function technique is used in computer simulations to analyze wave behavior over a broad frequency range, which improves design optimization of smart
microwave and photonic devices.
