Wave Propagation in Photonic Crystal Models

Abstract

We compute the transmission properties of 2-D electromagnetic TM waves that are normally incident on a Fabry-Perot structure with mirrors consisting of photonic crystals. We use a boundary integral formulation with quadratic boundary elements and utilize the Ewald representation for the Green's functions. We trace the frequencies of the Fabry-Perot cavity modes traversing the photon bandgap as the cavity length increases and calculate corresponding Q-values. For the case of lossy dielectrics, we compare bandgap frequencies and Q-values to experimental results obtained by H. Everitt and his group at Duke University.
