Abstract:Abstract-In this letter, we introduce a novel computational technique for predicting thermal and structural sensitivities in metallo-dielectric photonic crystals (PCs). The computational scheme is based on a hybrid formalism of the scattering matrix technique combined with the adjoint network method. The proposed technique can predict with high accuracy the impact of temperature fluctuations or structural disorders, to the lightwave propagation in PCs, without additional computational effort. Numerical simulat… Show more
