Binary TLBO algorithm assisted to investigate the supper scattering plasmonic nano rod

Abstract

A new efficient binary optimization method based Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm is proposed to design an array of plasmonic nano-rods in order to achieve maximum scattering coefficient spectrum. In binary TLBO (BTLBO), a group of learner consists a matrix with binary entries; control the presence (“1”) or the absence (“0”) of nano-rods in the array. Simulation results show that scattering coefficient strongly depends on the localized position of nano-particles and non-periodic structures have more appropriate response in term of scattering coefficient. This approach can be useful in optical applications such as plasmonic nano-antenna.
