Abstract Based on Drude-critical points (Drude-Two-CP) model for a dispersive media, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for metal nanofilms is proposed. By establishing the corresponding relationship between Drude-Two-CP model and Drude–Lorentz model, the conversion coefficients between the two models are calculated. And we modify the Drude-Two-CP model into the form of standard Lorentz model. The transformation relationship between the two models is conducive to the modular programming of FDTD. Formula deduction and calculation results show that Drude-Two-CP model has higher fitting accuracy and fitting formulas are more complex. Using the proposed FDTD method, we have calculated the reflection, transmission and extinction coefficients of gold and aluminium nanofilms. The results show that the FDTD results are in good agreement with those of Drude-Two-CP model, which are better than those of Drude–Lorentz model. Therefore, the Drude-Two-CP-FDTD method proposed in this paper is helpful for improving the accurate modelling and calculation of nano-optical structures.

Introduction With the rapid development of nanotechnology and the maturity of experimental technology, fine nanostructures can be easily manufactured by using laser technology. This lays a foundation for the development of nano-optics. When light incident on metal nano-surface, the interaction between electrons and photons on metal surface arises oscillation, meanwhile producing an electromagnetic wave spread along metal surface, which is called surface plasma [1–5]. At present, surface plasma has been used in photoelectric sensors, optical waveguides, optical grating and others [6–8]. Metal nanostructure is an important part of nano-optics. Therefore, how to effectively simulate the photoelectric characteristics of different metal

materials becomes very important. In optical frequency band range metals are similar to cold plasma and it can be expressed by dispersion model. Such as, Debye model, Drude model and Lorentz model [9–15]. In order to represent the properties of various materials more accurately, linear combinations of dispersion models are usual
