Theoretical investigation of photonic crystal and metal cladding for waveguides and lasers

An efficient numerical analysis method for wavelength-scale and sub-wavelength-scale photonic structures is developed. It is applied to metal-clad nano-lasers and photonic crystal-based DBRs to calculate intrinsic losses (from open boundaries), and to photonic crystal-based waveguides to calculate...
