Boundary element method for resonances in dielectric microcavities
A boundary element method based on a Green's function technique is introduced
to compute resonances with intermediate lifetimes in quasi-two-dimensional
dielectric cavities. It can be applied to single or several optical resonators
of arbitrary shape, including corners, for both TM and TE polarization. For
cavities with symmetries a symmetry reduction is described. The existence of
spurious solutions is discussed. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated
by calculating resonances in two coupled hexagonal cavities.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures (quality reduced
