Abstract
In this paper, the characteristics of the omnidirectional band gap (OBG) for one-dimensional (1D) plasma cylindrical photonic crystals (PCPCs) are based on an improved Fibonacci topological (IFT) structure are studied. The influences of the azimuthal mode number, incident angle, plasma thickness, and plasma frequency on the OBG are discussed. It is concluded that increasing the azimuth modulus can significantly expand the bandwidth of the OBG, and the OBG can be moved to the low-frequency direction by increasing the plasma frequency. In addition, an interesting phenomenon can be found that when the number of azimuthal modes is equal to 2, the TM wave can produce an extra high reflection zone. It provides a theoretical support for designing the narrowband filters without introducing any physical defect layers in the structure.
