Many interesting phenomena can arise in nonlinear periodic structures that possess the Kerr nonlinearity. For analytic description of such effects, the slowly varying amplitude (or envelope) approximation is usually applied. Alternatively, in order to avoid any approximation, we can use various numerical methods that solve Maxwell s equations or the wave equation directly. Examples of these rigorous methods that were applied to the modelling of nonlinear periodical structures are the finite-difference time-domain method, transmission-line modelling and the finite-element frequency-domain method." ...

Finite Different Time Domain Simulations (FDTD)... 

Since enhanced electromagnetic fields in proximity to metal nanoparticles are the basis for the increased system absorption, various computational methods are available to predict the extent of the net system absorption and therefore potentially model the relative increase in singlet oxygen generation from photosensitizers. " In comparison to traditional Mie theory, more accurate computational methods, such as discrete dipole approximation (DDA/ or finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods, are often implemented to more accurately approximate field distributions for larger particles with quadruple plasmon resonances, plasmon frequencies of silver nanoparticles, or non-spherical nanoparticles in complex media or arrangements. ...
