Abstract

We propose a semianalytical formalism based on a time-domain resonant-mode-expansion theory to analyze the ultrafast temporal dynamics of optical nanoresonators. We compare the theoretical predictions with numerical data obtained with the FDTD method, which is commonly used to analyze experiments in the field. The comparison reveals that the present formalism (i) provides deeper physical insight onto the temporal response and (ii) is much more computationally efficient. Since its numerical implementation is easy, the formalism, albeit approximate, can be advantageously used to both analyze and design ultrafast nano-optics experiments.
