We discuss current problems of the technology for supercomputer simulation of electrodynamic properties of planar metamaterials, new types of plasmonic and photonic crystals for terahertz optoelectronics. Simulation objects are nanostructured waveguide systems with desired optoelectronic properties, including optical fibers and photonic crystal fibers, planar metal-dielectric structures with resonance and chiral elements, nanostructured materials with radically new architecture based on hierarchical arrays of metal and semiconductor nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrices. The proposed media will control exciton-plasmon excitation parameters, transform fields in desired frequency and power ranges, manipulate temporal and polarization characteristics of the fields. Such tasks can be accomplished through the use of supercomputing technologies enabling numerical simulation of the formation of complex nanocomposite structures and calculation of their electromagnetic characteristics.
