Investigation of Photonic Band Gaps of One-Dimensional Heterostructure Magnetic Photonic Crystals

چکیده
Multiple structures in one-dimensional photonic crystals have great potentials for ultrawide omnireflectors and tunable switches. In this paper, we study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a one-dimensional heterostructure magnetic photonic crystal for both TE and TM incidence polarizations by means of the transfer matrix method. Results show that by stacking two magnetic photonic crystals as a heterostructure magnetic photonic crystal the omnidirectional total reflection frequency range for any polarization enlarged due to overlapping of photonic band gaps of both magnetic photonic crystals. Omnidirectional band gaps in the heterostructure magnetic photonic crystal is enhanced rather than that in a single magnetic photonic crystal.

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...

In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
متن کاملA New Method for Calculating Propagation Modes of a One Dimensional Photonic Crystal (RESEARCH NOTE)
Photonic band-gap (PBG) crystals offer new dimensions of freedom in controlling propagation of electromagnetic waves. The existence of stop-bands in the transmission characteristic of these crystals makes them a suitable element for the realization of many useful microwave and optical subsystems. In this paper, we calculate the propagation constant of a one-dimensional (1-D) photonic crystal by...

In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
متن کاملUnidirectional Wave Propagation in Low-Symmetric Colloidal Photonic-Crystal Heterostructures
We show theoretically that photonic crystals consisting of colloidal spheres exhibit unidirectional wave propagation and one-way frequency band gaps without breaking time-reversal symmetry via, e.g., the application of an external magnetic field or the use of nonlinear materials. Namely, photonic crystals with low symmetry such as the monoclinic crystal type considered here as well as with unit...
