First-principles method for high-$Q$ photonic crystal cavity mode calculations

Optics 2015-06-04 v3

Abstract

We present a first-principles method to compute radiation properties of ultra-high quality factor photonic crystal cavities. Our Frequency-domain Approach for Radiation (FAR) can compute the far-field radiation pattern and quality factor of cavity modes 100\sim 100 times more rapidly than conventional finite-difference time domain calculations. It also provides a simple rule for engineering the cavity's far-field radiation pattern.
