Modelando moléculas fotônicas usando a teoria dos grafos

Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate a practical way to model Photonic Molecules (PMs), using tools often used in control theory. It is shown here how it is possible to model systems composed of coupled electromagnetic resonators using a graph representation. Furthermore, it is shown the application of this modeling method for different photonic systems and how the response predicted by this method does agree with the response expected by the coupled oscillators theory, and how this tool predicts the transition between dark states and quasi-dark states when the system’s symmetry is broken.
