Accuracy Improvement of the Fourier Se- Ries Expansion Method for Floquet-mode Analysis of Photonic Crystal Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Fourier series expansion method is a useful tool to approach the problems of discontinuities in optical waveguides, and it applies to analyze the Floquet-modes of photonic crystal waveguides. This paper shows that the Floquet-mode calculation with large truncation order is limited and explains the reason. Furthermore, two techniques of the formulation are presented to relieve this limitation. One of them is a use of the symmetric properties of the Floquet-modes, and another is a use of the Rayleigh quotients to improve accuracy of eigenvalue calculation. They are validated by numerical experiments.

Numerical Analysis of Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Waveguide Devices Using Periodic Boundary Conditions
Introduction Photonic crystal is a periodic structure consisting of high contrast dielectrics, in which the electromagnetic wave cannot transmit in a specific wavelength range. It is therefore known that, if localized defects are introduced in the photonic crystal, the electromagnetic fields are strongly confined around the defects. For example, point defects in the photonic crystal work as res...
