Program for Computing Photonic Crystal Density of States

The program developed for calculating photonic crystal density of states demonstrates excellent agreement with published research data. While specifically optimized for photonic crystal configurations, the code architecture permits straightforward adaptation for other structural types through targeted modifications. Key implementation features include parameterized structural definitions and modular algorithm components that handle band structure calculations and density of state integration. The core algorithm utilizes spectral analysis methods combined with Brillouin zone sampling techniques typical for photonic band structure computations. Adaptation for alternative structures primarily requires adjustments to the unit cell geometry parameters in the structure definition module and potential modifications to the k-point sampling scheme in the momentum space integration routine. The program's object-oriented design separates physical structure specifications from mathematical computation kernels, enabling structural versatility while maintaining computational accuracy. Such enhancements would expand the program's applicability across various photonic research domains, including metamaterial analysis, optical device design, and nanophotonic system characterization, making it a valuable tool for both academic research and industrial applications.
