Abstract

An analytical approach to the description of the optical characteristics of layers consisting of interacting nanoclusters is developed based on the integral equation method. Expressions for the fields inside and outside the system are obtained, the effective parameters of the structure elements are studied taking into account the mutual polarizing effect of nanoclusters and underlying medium, and the applicability conditions of the model proposed are determined. The possibility of controllable the tuning of the spectral properties of the system by changing its structural parameters is considered; it is shown that the reflection from the substrate surface can be decreased by depositing a nanostructured coating. Good agreement is obtained between the analytical calculation and the exact numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations.
