Existence of Guided Modes on Periodic Slabs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove the existence of bound guided modes for the Helmholtz equation on lossless penetrable periodic slabs. We handle both robust modes, for which no Bragg harmonics propagate away from slab, as well as nonrobust standing modes, which exist in the presence of propagating Bragg harmonics. The latter are made possible by symmetries of the slab structure, which prevent coupling of energy to the propagating harmonics. These modes are isolated in wavevector-frequency space, as they disappear under a perturbation of the wavevector. The main tool is a volumetric integral equation of Lippmann-Schwinger type that has a self-adjoint kernel.

متن کاملGuided Modes in Periodic Slabs: Existence and Nonexistence
For homogeneous lossless 3D periodic slabs of fixed arbitrary geometry, we characterize guided modes by means of the eigenvalues associated to a variational formulation. We treat robust modes, which exist for frequencies and wavevectors that admit no propagating Bragg harmonics and therefore persist under perturbations, as well as nonrobust modes, which can disappear under perturbations due to ...
متن کاملFano-Type Resonance of Waves in Periodic Slabs
We investigate Fano-type anomalous transmission of energy of plane waves across lossless slab scatterers with periodic structure in the presence of non-robust guided modes. Our approach is based on rigorous analytic perturbation of the scattering problem near a guided mode and applies to very general structures, continuous and discrete.
متن کاملDependence of guided resonances on the structural parameters of terahertz photonic crystal slabs
Using terahertz spectroscopy, we measure the normal-incidence transmission coefficient of photonic crystals consisting of a periodic lattice of air holes in a silicon slab. Sharp resonant features are observed in the transmission spectra due to coupling of the leaky photonic crystal modes, called guided resonances, to the continuum of free-space modes. The resonances show considerable sensitivi...
متن کاملGuided resonance in Photonic Crystals
The objective of this thesis research is to analyze the guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs. It introduces the different kinds of photonic crystals and focuses on photonic crystal slabs consisting of a square lattice of air holes. The guided resonances are created by the coupling between the guided modes above the light line and radiation modes. Specifically, we calculate the transmissi...
