Abstract :
Modeling of photonic crystal structures is an ongoing challenge. This letter is devoted to the theoretical modeling of photonic crystal resonant cavities, composed of elliptically shaped dielectric pillars. Through this rigorous study, we can examine the impact of the elliptical-shape deformations to important quantities related to the photonic crystal cavity performance, such as the quality factor and the resonance frequency.
