In this dissertation, efficient algorithms for the study of waveguiding and scattering from dielectric structures are studied. The focus of this discourse is on the computational aspects rather than electromagnetic theory, although the theory is discussed whenever it is needed. …

The field of nanophotonics is a major research topic, as it offers potential solutions to important challenges, such as the creation of low power, high bandwidth interconnects or optical sensors. Within this field, resonant structures and slow light waveguides are used to improv…
