A Bloch mode expansion approach for analyzing quasi-normal modes in open nanophotonic structures
We present a new method for determining quasi-normal modes in open nanophotonic structures using a modal ex- pansion technique. The outgoing wave boundary condition of the quasi-normal modes is satisfied automatically without absorbing boundaries, representing a significant advantage compared to conventional techniques.
The quasi-normal modes are determined by constructing a cavity roundtrip matrix and iterating the complex mode wavelength towards a unity eigenvalue. We demonstrate the method by deter- mining quasi-normal modes of cavities in two-dimensional photonic crystals side-coupled to W1 waveguides.
