Cylindrical Beam Propagation Modelling of Perturbed Whispering-Gallery Mode Microcavities

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We simulate light propagation in perturbed whispering-gallery mode microcavities using a two-dimensional finite-difference beam prop- agation method in a cylindrical coordinate system. Optical properties of whispering-gallery microcavities perturbed by polystyrene nanobeads are investigated through this formulation. The light perturbation as well as quality factor degradation arising from cavity ellipticity are also studied.
