Dirichlet-to-Neumann transparent boundary conditions for photonic crystal wave-guides

Please always quote using this URN:urn:nbn:de:0296-matheon-12525
  • In this work we present a complete algorithm for the exact computation of the guided mode band structure in photonic crystal (PhC) wave-guides. In contrast to the supercell method, the used approach does not introduce any modelling error and is hence independent of the confinement of the modes. The approach is based on Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) transparent boundary conditions that yield a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. For the solution of this nonlinear eigenvalue problem we present a direct technique using Chebyshev interpolation that requires a band gap calculation of the PhC in advance. For this band gap calculation –- we introduce as a very efficient tool –- a Taylor expansion of the PhC band structure. We show that our algorithm –- like the supercell method –- converges exponentially, however, its computational costs –- in comparison to the supercell method –- only increase moderately since the size of the matrix to be inverted remains constant.
