“…In this paper, we investigate numerically the energy absorption below dielectric and metallic surfaces with a single or several holes or ridges and analyze the influence of light polarization, optical properties of material, and arbitrary shape of nanoobjects on the resulting scattered radiative and nonradiative fields. For this, we solve a full system of Maxwell's equations by Finite-Difference Time-Domain approach [33,34], which was successfully used for scattering, transmission and absorption data analysis in case of subwavelength individual, periodic and randomly distributed holes and bumps on the surface [17,18,21,22,28,35,36]. We focus on two different materials, widely used in industry: unexcited fused silica glass (dielectric) and stainless steel (metal).…”
