Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method for analyzing interpenetrating cylinder arrays in a triangular lattice

چکیده
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 different arrays of cylinders cannot be separated by planes without intersecting the cylinders. The method is efficient since it never calculates the wave field in the interiors of the (hexagon) unit cells and it approximates the operators by small matrices. This is achieved by using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps of the unit cells which map the wave field on the boundaries of the unit cells to its normal derivative. c © 2008 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...

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 ...
متن کاملImproved Dirichlet-to-Neumann map method for scattering by circular cylinders on a lattice.
A simple model for two-dimensional photonic crystal devices consists of a finite number of possibly different circular cylinders centered on lattice points of a square or triangular lattice and surrounded by a homogeneous or layered background medium. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map method is a special method for analyzing the scattering of an incident wave by such a structure. It is more ef...
متن کاملComputing photonic band structures by Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps: the triangular lattice
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...
