Periodicity enclosed in boundaries: local density of states in photonic clusters
| Abstract | We have studied the effect of the boundaries on the local density ofstates (LDOS) in one-, two-, and three-dimensional finite size photonicstructures. The LDOS was calculated with the help of the localperturbation method (LPM) and a new LPM-Bloch method using periodicityof the system. The methods are applicable for the clusters made of small(relative to the incident wavelength) particles or for the clusterswhich can be considered as made of such particles. It was demonstratedthat the LPM-Bloch method is an accurate numerical tool for calculationof the LDOS in the finite size photonic structures with weakinterference. |
