Yang Jiao, Shanhui Fan, David A. B. Miller, "Photonic Crystal Device Sensitivity Analysis with Wannier Basis Gradients," Optics Letters 30, No. 3, pp. 302 – 304 (Feb. 1, 2005)

We present a powerful sensitivity analysis method for devices in a photonic crystal.  The method is based on a Wannier basis field expansion and efficient matrix analysis techniques for finding eigenvalue and transmission gradients with respect to the perturbation.  The method enables fast analysis of a large number of dielectric perturbation scenarios for multiple devices in a photonic crystal.  We verify the method with FDTD and plane wave expansion calculations.
