In the simulation standard article, “Plasmonic Light Trapping Transforming Thin-Film Photovoltaics” from 2015, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm was used in 2D to propagate the light in thin film photovoltaic structures with and without metallic nanoparticles to simulate its plasmonic effect. The solid modeling module of Victory Mesh offers the capability to model such structures in 3D.
