Phase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals

Authors

Abstract:

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 value of the reflection phase difference between TE and TM waves can be controlled by changing the incident angle and frequency. Also, the results show that the reflection phase difference in the second band gap increases by increasing the incident angle, and remains almost unchanged in a broad frequency band. Furthermore, at two points near to the edges of the gap the reflection phase difference keeps almost zero in spite of the change of incident angle. Based on these properties, phase compensators and omni-directionally synchronous reflectors and also polarizers can be designed.

Transmission properties of one dimensional Photonic Crystals with defects

The transmission properties of one dimensional Photonic Crystals (PCs) with two defects having structures (HL) n (D1LD2L) m (HL) n, where m is the stack number of the Photonic Quantum Well (PQW) have been theoretically investigated by the transfer matrix method. The thickness and temperature dependence of the defect modes have been studied by considering Si and air as the high and low refractiv...

Study of optical Tamm states based on the phase properties of one-dimensional photonic crystals.

We demonstrate the physical mechanism of optical Tamm states using the phase properties of the photonic crystals. Based on such mechanism, we propose an efficient way that can precisely produce optical Tamm states at specific frequencies. Moreover, we show that dielectric photonic crystals and single-negative materials can be effectively connected through their reflection phase. Two kinds of on...

Nanoparticle-based one-dimensional photonic crystals.

Herein we present a fast, reliable method for building nanoparticle-based 1D photonic crystals in which a periodic modulation of the refractive index is built by alternating different types of nanoparticles and by controlling the level of porosity of each layer. The versatility of the method is further confirmed by building up optically doped photonic crystals in which the opening of transmissi...

Diffraction properties of two-dimensional photonic crystals

We show that the envelope of the diffraction efficiency of a two-dimensional photonic crystal can exhibit spectral regions of very small diffraction efficiency (,5310), while in other regions, the diffraction efficiency is near unity. The experimental results on higher bands of hexagonal, silicon-based photonic crystals agree well with corresponding numerical calculations and highlight the prom...

Magnetooptical properties of two dimensional photonic crystals

Magnetooptical properties of the materials with periodically modulated dielectric constant – photonic crystals (or band-gap materials) have been examined with relation to their possible applications for the control of electromagnetic radiation in the integrated optics devices. For this investigation we propose the original theoretical approach based on the perturbation theory. Magnetooptical Fa...

Photoluminescence spectroscopy of one-dimensional resonant photonic crystals

We report on a theoretical study of photoluminescence (PL) of the resonant one-dimensional photonic crystals, or the near-Bragg quantum-well structures. The PL spectral intensity is found by including random sources in the equations for the exciton dielectric polarization and introducing the discrete Green’s function. The structures without and with the dielectric contrast are considered. The p...
