Abstract: Scattering and absorption of light by flat nanosize silver strips are investigated using new efficient model. It is based on the generalized boundary conditions imposed on the strip median lines and leads to the singular and hypersingular integral equations discretized using quadrature formulas of interpolation type. This algorithm has guaranteed convergence and controlled accuracy of computations. It enables fast simulation of structures consisting of many noble-metal strips.
