Periodicity enclosed in boundaries: local density of states in photonic clusters.
We have studied the effect of the boundaries on the local density of states (LDOS) in one-, two-, and three-dimensional finite size photonic structures. The LDOS was calculated with the help of the local perturbation method (LPM) and a new LPM-Bloch method using periodicity of the system. The methods are applicable for the clusters made of small (relative to the incident wavelength) particles or for the clusters which can be considered as made of such particles. It was demonstrated that the LPM-Bloch method is an accurate numerical tool for calculation of the LDOS in the finite size photonic structures with weak interference.
