A lot of attention has been paid in the last years to the optical properties of nanostructured materials such as photonic crystals, metamaterials, and nanoantennas. The numerical calculation of these properties is often very time-consuming and, hence, simple models are desired for a fast approximation of the spectral behavior. We are going to present the resonant mode approximation, where the spectra can be derived from the calculation of the resonant mode. As a starting point, we use the scattering matrix approach for stacked periodic structures to obtain the resonant field distribution as well as the resonance position in the complex frequency plane. Then, we can approximate the scattering matrix for frequencies close to the resonance without any fitting procedures for describing the response of the structure on plane wave incidence. Several examples will be shown to elucidate the versatility of the method.
