Modeling photonic crystal fibers (Q2458956): Difference between revisions

The problem indicated in the title gives rise to a Maxwell problem. However, looking for guided waves in the \(x_3\)-direction and assuming the medium to be \(x_3\)-independent, the author is left with two scalar problems with periodic coefficients. The corresponding Green integral operators and their spectral properties are used for a characterization of guided modes. Some numerical experiments are included.
