The optical resonance problem is similar to but different from time-steady Schr{o}dinger equation. One big challenge is that the eigenfunctions in resonance problem is exponentially growing. We give physical explanation to this boundary condition and introduce perfectly matched layer (PML) method to transform eigenfunctions from exponential-growth to exponential-decay. Based on the complex stretching technique, we construct a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for the optical resonance problem. We successfully validate the effectiveness of the Hamiltonian by calculate its eigenvalues in the circular cavity and compare with the analytical results. We also use the proposed Hamiltonian to investigate the mode evolution around exceptional points in the quad-cosine cavity.

For scattering problems of time-harmonic waves, the boundary integral equation (BIE) methods are highly competitive, since they are formulated on lower-dimension boundaries or interfaces, and can automatically satisfy outgoing radiation conditions. For scattering problems in a layered medium, standard BIE methods based on the Greens function of the background medium must evaluate the expensive Sommefeld integrals. Alternative BIE methods based on the free-space Greens function give rise to integral equations on unbounded interfaces which are not easy to truncate, since the wave fields on these interfaces decay very slowly. We develop a BIE method based on the perfectly matched layer (PML) technique. The PMLs are widely used to suppress outgoing waves in numerical methods that directly discretize the physical space. Our PML-based BIE method uses the Greens function of the PML-transformed free space to define the boundary integral operators. The method is efficient, since the Greens function of the PML-transformed free space is easy to evaluate and the PMLs are very effective in truncating the unbounded interfaces. Numerical examples are presented to validate our method and demonstrate its accuracy.
This paper is concerned with the time-dependent acoustic-elastic interaction problem associated with a bounded elastic body immersed in a homogeneous air or fluid above an unbounded rough surface. The well-posedness and stability of the problem are first established by using the Laplace transform and the energy method. A perfectly matched layer (PML) is then introduced to truncate the interaction problem above a finite layer containing the elastic body, leading to a PML problem in a finite strip domain. We further establish the existence, uniqueness and stability estimate of solutions to the PML problem. Finally, we prove the exponential convergence of the PML problem in terms of the thickness and parameter of the PML layer, based on establishing an error estimate between the DtN operators of the original problem and the PML problem.
This note is intended as a brief introduction to the theory and practice of perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundaries for wave equations, originally developed for MIT courses 18.369 and 18.336. It focuses on the complex stretched-coordinate viewpoint, and also discusses the limitations of PML.
In this article, several discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methods with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) are derived along with their quasi-optimal graph test norms. Ultimately, two different complex coordinate stretching strategies are considered in these derivations. Unlike with classical formulations used by Bubnov-Galerkin methods, with so-called ultraweak variational formulations, these two strategies in fact deliver different formulations in the PML region. One of the strategies, which is argued to be more physically natural, is employed for numerically solving two- and three-dimensional time-harmonic acoustic, elastic, and electromagnetic wave propagation problems, defined in unbounded domains. Through these numerical experiments, efficacy of the new DPG methods with PMLs is verified.
We present a detailed experimental characterization of the spectral and spatial structure of the confined optical modes for oxide-apertured micropillar cavities, showing good-quality Hermite-Gaussian profiles, easily mode-matched to external fields. We further derive a relation between the frequency splitting of the transverse modes and the expected Purcell factor. Finally, we describe a technique to retrieve the profile of the confining refractive index distribution from the spatial profiles of the modes.
