Abstract
In this paper we simulate for the first time the propagation of green light through grana and inter-grana components of chloroplasts. Those components are nano-metric structures and thus regular estimation of the propagation of light cannot be exact without taking into account diffraction effects. The numerical investigation presented in this paper solves Maxwell wave equation using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical approach to analyze the propagation of light through a chloroplast model.
