Periodic Metallo-Dielectric Structures: Electromagnetic Absorption and its Related Developed Temperatures

Absorption in periodic layered structures

Photonic band structure of metal-dielectric and semiconductor-dielectric layered structures are studied in the presence of a strong absorption. It is shown that absorption can enlarge some gaps by as much as 50%. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Photonic Pseudogaps for Periodic Dielectric Structures

We consider the problems of existence and structure of gaps (pseudogaps) in the spectra associated with Maxwell equations and equations that governs the propagation of acoustic waves in periodic two component media. The dielectric constant " is assumed to be real and positive, and the value of " = "b on the background is supposed to be essentially larger than the value of " = "a on the embedded...

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Periodic Porous Structures

We employ a homogenization procedure to describe the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a dielectric structure which is doubly-periodic in the X-Y plane and of arbitrary variation in the direction of propagation, Z. The fundamental cell is composed of an arbitrarily shaped pore filled with a dielectric and the host by another. Our analysis yields the structure of the electromagnetic fields...

Temperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures

Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
