Abstract

For the first time the quasi normal mode treatment is used and extended to the description of the scalar field behaviour in one dimensional photonic crystals. A one-dimensional photonic crystal is a particular configuration of an open cavity, where discontinuities into refractive index give rise to field confinement. A discussion of the complex eigenvalues and eigenfrequencies, as well as the corresponding field distribution, is presented.
