Higher order finite-difference frequency domain analysis of 2-D photonic crystals with curved dielectric interfaces.
A high-order finite-difference frequency domain method is proposed for the analysis of the band diagrams of two-dimensional photonic crystals. This improved formulation is based on Taylor series expansion, local coordinate transformation, boundary conditions matching, and the generalized Douglas scheme. The nine-point second-order formulas are extended to fourth-order accuracy. This proposed scheme can deal with piecewise homogeneous structures with curved dielectric interfaces.
