Abstract

A Fourier-Bessel basis set in cylindrical coordinates is used to cast Maxwell’s wave equations into an eigenvalue problem from which the steady states of rotationally symmetric photonic structures can be determined. The rotational symmetry of the structure significantly reduces the order of the matrix making an efficient computation process that can be accommodated by desk top computers running MATLAB ©. In addition the matrix can be tuned to a particular mode profile type such as monopoles, dipoles, … enabling the user to target the desired mode features in the computations. The technique is applied to solving for the states of three different photonic structures; 12-fold quasi-crystal, silicon ring resonator and photonic crystal fiber. The particular features of a modal state are easily obtained by examining the eigenvector.
