Automatic Calculation of Band Diagrams of Photonic Crystals Using the Multiple Multipole MethodAbstract
In the framework of photonic crystal’s band structure calculations, we present a novel way – based on several advanced techniques for searching and tracing eigenvalues with the multiple multipole program – to compute these diagrams automatically, efficiently, and with a high accuracy. Finally, we validate the results for some well known test cases.
