Abstract
In this paper, we study the performances of the Dipole Discrete Approximation method for modelling the reflectivity of a highly resonant, 3D subwavelength patterned structure extending over tens of thousands wavelength square. The computation time of the whole reflectivity spectrum (80 wavelengths) was about 3 h on a computer and requires about 1.5 GB in memory. These performances make the DDA an unique numerical tool for modelling the scattering by large 3D structures supporting long-range interactions.
