Effects of resonant tunneling in electromagnetic wave propagation through a polariton gap
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider tunneling of electromagnetic waves through a polariton band gap of a one-dimensional chain of atoms. We analytically show that a defect embedded in the structure gives rise to the resonance transmission at the frequency of a local polariton state associated with the defect. Numerical Monte Carlo simulations are used to examine properties of the electromagnetic band arising inside the polariton gap due to finite concentration of defects. @S0163-1829~99!03418-9#

Local polariton modes and resonant tunneling of electromagnetic waves through periodic Bragg multiple quantum well structures
We study analytically defect polariton states in Bragg multiple quantum well structures and defect-induced changes in transmission and reflection spectra. Defect layers can differ from the host layers in three ways: exciton-light coupling strength, exciton resonance frequency, and interwell spacing. We show that a single defect leads to two local polariton modes in the photonic band gap. These ...

We consider propagation of coupled waves (polaritons) formed by a scalar electromagnetic wave and excitations of a finite one dimensional chain of dipoles. It is shown that a microscopic defect (an impurity dipole) embedded in the chain causes resonance tunneling of the electromagnetic wave with the frequency within the forbidden band between two polariton branches. We demonstrate that resonanc...

We consider resonant tunneling of electromagnetic waves through an optical barrier formed by dielectric layers with the frequency dispersion of their dielectric permiability. The frequency region between lower and upper polariton branches in these materials presents a stop band for electromagnetic waves. We show that resonance tunneling through this kind of barriers is qualitatevely different f...

– We consider tunneling of electromagnetic waves through a polariton band gap of a 1-D chain of atoms. We analytically demonstrate that a defect embedded in the structure gives rise to the resonance transmission at the frequency of a local polariton state associated with the defect. The optical properties of materials with band gaps in their electromagnetic spectrum have recently attracted a gr...
