The most general motion of a system is a superposition of its normal modes, or eigenstates. For Hermitian system, classical normal mode theory applies. For non-Hermitian systems, presently a lot of progress is done to describe the response of optical micro and nanoresonators in their quasinormal mode basis. We have developed a rigorous modal analysis of nanoresonators with unprecedented generality and report numerical results for the general case of 3D resonators, made of dispersive materials on substrate with guiding layers.
