Abstract

In this paper, the eigen-equations for one dimensional periodic structure, semi-infinite periodic structure and semi-infinite periodic structure with defects are derived based on the symplectic method. The eigen-problem for a semi-infinite periodic structure is transformed into an eigen-problem for a unit cell. Together the symplectic method with the W-W algorithm, an accurate, stable and efficient method for solving eigen-problem of semi-infinite periodic structure with defects is proposed. Numerical examples are also presented to validate the methods proposed in this paper.
