Summary:A bstract In this paper, we calculate corrections of scalar perturbations spectra resulting from excited-de Sitter modes as the nontrivial initial states. To obtain these modes, we consider the asymptotic expansion of the Hankel functions up to the higher order of 1 kτ . Actually the Planck and WMAP data impose some constrains on the Hankel function index. These observational constraints and back-reaction effects stimulate us to use excited-de Sitter modes. Finally, we nominate these nontrivial general solutions as the fundamental mode functions during inflation and we calculate the corrected form of scale-dependent power spectrum with trans-Planckian corrections, and in de Sitter space-time limit the results reduce to the scale-invariant power spectrum.
