Theory, modeling, and design of ed subwavelength photonic structures
Project goals
The project concerns theoretical analysis, development of approximate and rigorous tools, extensive modelling, design and optimization of ed advanced subwavelength photonics structures, namely (but not exclusively): photonic crystals and their combination with nanostructures, subwavelength-scale photonic components, plasmonic structures, metamaterials, and slow-wave and coupled-cavity structures. Both linear and nonlinear wave phenomena and optical properties in such structures will be studied using broad expertise within the Optical physics group at DPE FNSPE, CTU in Prague, including both fully competitive in-house and generally available numerical tools, based on such numerical methods as Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) method, Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, Aperiodic Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (ARCWA), and Bidirectional Mode Propagation and matching (BEP) method. The methods developed, implemented, and applied will be used for modelling and design of ed subwavelength structures wit

Project results evaluation
Project developed and applied Fourier modal methods (both In 2D and 3D), based on the periodic and aperiodic coupled wave methods, for efficient modeling of photonic and plasmonic nanostructures. It theoretically described, simulated and experimentally realized and characterized series of selected perspective subwavelength nanostructures, for various applications (opal crystals, SERS substrates).
