Analyzing second harmonic generation from arrays of cylinders using Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps

چکیده
We develop an efficient numerical method for analyzing second harmonic generation (SHG) in two-dimensional photonic crystals composed of nonlinear circular cylinders embedded in a linear background medium. Instead of solving the governing inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation for the second harmonic wave in the entire structure directly, we define and solve a locally generated second harmonic field in each cylinder (independent of all other cylinders), then merge the field together using Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps of the unit cells. For linear waves in a unit cell without sources, the DtN map is an operator that maps the wave field to its normal derivative on the boundary and it can be approximated by a small matrix. A highly accurate pseudo-spectral method is used to solve the locally generated second harmonic wave in the cylinders. The method was applied to analyze enhanced SHG when the linear power reflectivity peaks at both the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies. c © 2009 Optical Society of America

Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method for analyzing periodic arrays of cylinders with oblique incident waves
For finite two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals given as periodic arrays of circular cylinders in a square or triangular lattice, we develop an efficient method to compute the transmission and reflection spectra for oblique incident plane waves. The method relies on vector cylindrical wave expansions to approximate the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map for each distinct unit cell, and uses the D...

An efficient and accurate computational method is developed for analyzing finite layers of crossed arrays of circular cylinders, including woodpile structures as special cases. The method relies on marching a few operators (approximated by matrices) from one side of the structure to another. The marching step makes use of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps for two-dimensional unit cells in eac...

An efficient numerical method is developed for computing the transmission and reflection spectra of finite two-dimensional photonic crystals composed of circular cylinders in a triangular lattice. Our method manipulates a pair of operators defined on a set of curves and it remains effective when the radius of the cylinders is larger than √ 3/4 of the lattice constant — a condition where differe...

For second harmonic generation in two-dimensional wave-guiding structures composed of segments that are invariant in the longitudinal direction, we develop an efficient numerical method based on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps of the segments and a marching scheme using two operators and two functions. A Chebyshev collocation method is used to discretize the longitudinal variable for comput...

Efficient numerical methods for analyzing photonic crystals (PhCs) can be developed using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps of the unit cells. The DtN map is an operator that takes the wave field on the boundary of a unit cell to its normal derivative. In frequency domain calculations for band structures and transmission spectra of finite PhCs, the DtN maps allow us to reduce the computation ...
