Abstract
We present a new method for determining quasi-normal
modes in open nanophotonic structures using a modal ex-
pansion technique. The outgoing wave boundary condition
of the quasi-normal modes is satisfied automatically without
absorbing boundaries, representing a significant advantage
compared to conventional techniques. The quasi-normal
modes are determined by constructing a cavity roundtrip
matrix and iterating the complex mode wavelength towards
a unity eigenvalue. We demonstrate the method by deter-
mining quasi-normal modes of cavities in two-dimensional
photonic crystals side-coupled to W1 waveguides.
