Abstract :
We propose an improved macromodel-based technique for efficient analysis of the structures based on Photonic Crystals (PhC). The technique involves a new structure of the coupling matrix and advanced cloning of not only the macro-model Γ matrices, but also the coupling matrices SE and SH. The method allows one to shorten considerably the preprocessing time, the RAM usage and also the iterating speed of performing FDTD. With this scheme, it is possible to simulate efficiently up to several thousands of macromodels.
