Simulation of light propagation in photonic crystal structures using advanced finite element methods — •Sven Burger, Jan Pomplun, Frank Schmidt, and Lin Zschiedrich — Zuse Institute Berlin, Takustraße 7, D - 14195 Berlin, Germany

Finite element methods allow for accurate and fast simulations of light propagation in micro- and nanostructures. We are developing a programme package for the simulation of time-harmonic light scattering problems and eigenvalue problems based on the finite element method. The package contains higher order finite elements for 1D, 2D and 3D problems, adaptive refinement strategies, and domain decomposition algorithms. We report on the status of the software, and we discuss recent applications of the methods to simulations of photonic crystal fibers [1] and other periodically assembled nanostructures (metamaterials) [2].
