چکیده
Photonic crystals (PhCs) have promising applications in future integrated circuits based on lightwaves. A typical PhC structure or device has many identical unit cells. Based on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps of the unit cells, we have developed efficient numerical methods for analyzing various PhC structures. In this paper, these works are briefly reviewed.

Modeling photonic crystals by boundary integral equations and Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps
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 ...

An efficient numerical method is developed for modal analysis of twodimensional photonic crystal waveguides. Using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map of the supercell, the waveguide modes are solved from an eigenvalue problem formulated on two boundaries of the supercell, leading to significantly smaller matrices when it is discretized. The eigenvalue problem is linear even when the medium is d...

An efficient semi-analytic method is developed for computing the band structures of two-dimensional photonic crystals which are triangular lattices of circular cylinders. The problem is formulated as an eigenvalue problem for a given frequency using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map of a hexagon unit cell. This is a linear eigenvalue problem even if the material is dispersive, where the eigenv...

We develop an efficient numerical method for computing defect modes in two dimensional photonic crystals based on the Dirichletto- Neumann (DtN) maps of the defect and normal unit cells.

The frequencies of the defect modes are solved from a condition that a small matrix is si...
متن کاملImproved Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method for modeling extended photonic crystal devices
A typical photonic crystal (PhC) device has only a small number of distinct unit cells. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map of a unit cell is an operator that maps the wave field to its normal derivative on the boundary of the cell. Based on the DtN maps of the unit cells, a PhC device can be efficiently analyzed by solving the wave field only on edges of the unit cells. In this paper, the DtN m...
