Modelling issues for waveguide photonic crystals and photonic microstructures: A personal view

Article

Abstract

This paper is primarily an attempt to highlight areas of photonic crystal and microstructure research where there is a need for computer-based modelling. No attempt is made to assess the relative merits of different computational methods. Instead, attention is focussed mainly on engineering issues that, in the author’s view, are likely to be important in predicting and analysing the properties of complex device structures built up from photonic crystal building blocks.
