We present a new scattering method which allows for the calculation of the optical properties of lithography- and self-assembly-based photonic nanostructures. The lithographic components are modelled by the Fourier modal method while the self-assembly-based ones by the layer-multiple-scattering method. The key property which allows the merging of both theoretical methods into a common programming code are the scattering (transmission/reflection) matrices for a finite photonic slab. In order to demonstrate the potential of this new, hybrid method we study light absorption by a two-dimensional lattice of metallic rods with square cross-section sitting atop a homogeneous substrate and a two-dimensional lattice of dielectric spheres.
