Photonic-crystal time-domain simulations using Wannier functions.

چکیده
We present a Wannier-function-based time-domain method for photonic-crystal integrated optical circuits. In contrast to other approaches, this method allows one to trade CPU time against memory consumption and therefore is particularly well suited for the treatment of large-scale systems. As an illustration, we apply the method to the design of a photonic-crystal-based sensor, which utilizes a dual Mach-Zehnder-Fano interferometer.

متن کاملSemianalytic Methods for Studying Localized Modes Within Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
The design of photonic crystal (PC) based optical elements has often relied on numerical simulations using methods such as finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) [6, 7]. While FDTD provides a wealth of detailed information about the system under consideration, it has the drawback of being rather computationally intensive and time consuming. In this chapter, I detail two approximate analytic metho...
