The reflected properties of one-dimensional frequency-dependent metallic-dielectric photonic crystals are investigated when disorders are introduced for the first time. It is demonstrated that disordered metallic-dielectric photonic crystal provides remarkably high reflection range compared with the corresponding period metallic-dielectric one when the degree of disorder is moderately chosen, and a wider stop band will be obtained with the increasing of periods. At last, the reflected properties influenced by incident angle for different polarizations are also calculated and discussed.

The electromagnetic density of modes (DOM) in a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal containing dispersive metamaterials is computed using Wigner’s time approach. The expression of DOM is derived using the transfer matrix method. Different structural parameters, such as relative thickness, incident angle, and total number of unit cells are varied and their effects are investigated. It is observed that relative thickness, angle of incidence, and total number of unit cells all play an important role in determining the properties of DOM depending on the frequency regime under consideration.

Characteristic matrix method was used to calculate the transmittance spectra of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs). By theoretical calculations, the transmittance spectra of time-harmonic electromagnetic wave in the 1-D PCs with various incident angles were derived. From the transmittance spectra, it shown that along with the incident angle increased from 0o to 85o, the frequency range of stop band gap also increased from 0.085 to 0.119 for the certain periodicity N=16 of the 1-D PCs. In addition, for a certain incident angle (in this letter, the incident angle 30o was used), the transmittance spectra for different periodicity (N=2, 4, 8 and 16 respectively) were also calculated, it demonstrated that different incident angles could influence the stop band gap range markedly, but on the transmittance was minimal.

In this letter, characteristic matrix method was used to calculate the transmittance spectra of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-DPCs) with single defects in the center. From altering the refractive indexes n2’ and n3’ respectively for the defect, the transmittance spectra were calculated. From them, it shown that for the certain numerical value n3’=5.0, during the course of n2’ increased from 1.1 to 3.5, when it upped to 2.0, there occurred defect band gap in the stop band gap, and the defect band gap is at frequencies between 0.24~0.30. Besides, for n2’ =2.0, when n3’ increased from 1.1 to 3.5, there also occurred defect band gap in the stop band gap, and the defect band gap is at frequencies between 0.26~0.32. In addition, in these two progresses, the transmittance increased firstly and then decreased in the defect band gap.

Using 2×2 transfer matrix method, we numerically investigate a kind of structure in which two symmetric layers with defects are sandwiched in one-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs). The PCs are made of ordinary dielectrics and placed in the air. When a light beam is incident into PCs, the two resonant peaks can be achieved which constitute a couple of photonic channels. The transmittance of the resonant peaks can nearly reach up to 1. Furthermore, the tunability of the resonant peaks is discussed in detail, the results shows that the position of the resonant peak depending on the value of the incident angle. These properties can provide a theoretical basis for design of a new type of tunable double-channel photonic crystal filter.

The reflection properties of light wave propagation in one-dimensional quasi-periodic metallic photonic crystal (PC) are comprehensively analyzed by transfer matrix method. In this work, we form a Fibonacci sequence quasi-periodic PC composed of metal and dielectric. The results demonstrate that the reflection stop band is strongly dependent on the periodic structure, metal thickness and incident angle. For this structure, the reflection stop band ranges from the visible light region to near-infrared region. Compared with the periodic metallic PC, the reflection stop bandwidth of our structure is wider. When the metal thickness increases, the reflection stop band is significantly enlarged. Furthermore, the reflection stop bandwidth slowly gets narrow and shifts to short wavelength region with the increase of incidence angle. Considering TE and TM wave at all incident angles, there is an omnidirectional reflection bandgap with width of 241nm for our investigated quasi-periodic metal PC.

Considered the model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with double defects, the refractive indexes (n2’, n3’ and n2’’, n3’’) of the double defects were 2.0, 4.0 and 4.0, 2.0 respectively. With parameter n2=1.5, n3=2.5, by theoretical calculations with characteristic matrix method, the results shown that for a certain number (14 was taken) of layers of the 1-D PCs, when the double defects abutted, there was a defect band gap in the stop band gap, while when the double defects separated, there occurred two defect band gaps in the stop band gap; besides, with the separation of the two defects, the transmittance of the double defect band gaps decreased gradually. In addition, in this progress, the frequency range of the stop band gap has a little increase from 0.092 to 0.095.

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.

Abstract Detection of blood-carried volatile organic compounds (VOCs) existing in the exhaled breath of human is an attractive research point for noninvasive diagnosis of diseases. In this research, we introduce a novel application of photonic crystals (PCs) for the detection of isoprene traces in the exhaled breath as a biomarker for liver fibrosis. This idea is introduced for the first time according to the best of our knowledge. The proposed sensor structure is a one-dimensional (1D) PC constructed from a multilayer stack of two dielectric materials covered with an air cavity layer filled with the dry exhaled breath (DEB) and a thin metallic layer of Au is attached on the top surface. Hence, the proposed sensor is configured as, [prism/Au/air cavity/(GaN/SiO2)10]. The transfer matrix method and the Drude model are adopted to calculate the numerical simulations and reflection spectra of the design. The essential key for sensing isoprene levels is the resonant optical Tamm plasmon (TP) states within the photonic bandgap. The obtained numerical results are promising such as high sensitivity (S) of 0.321 nm/ppm or 278720 nm/RIU. This technique can be reducing the risk of infection during the taking of blood samples by syringe. Also, it can prevent the pain of patients. Finally, this work opens the door for the detection of many diseases by analyzing the breaths of patients based on photonic crystals.

This paper focuses on manipulating thermal emission and radiation loss of heat energy in a heat waveguide. A One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal is used as a waveguide clad to prohibit the thermal emission from escaping. The model may reduce the radiation loss of heat energy in the waveguide core, and heat energy can be confined to propagate along the waveguide’s longitude axis. The waveguide clad comprises alternative layers of high and low refractive index materials containing sufficient electromagnetic stop bands to trap the thermal emission from escaping out of the waveguide. The numerical simulation of the model shows that the forbidden bandgap of photonic crystal structures with alternative layers of silica and silicon has width enough to make heat energy be confined within the waveguide core so that efficient heat energy transmission can be achieved along the longitude axis of the waveguide.

The transmittance spectra of one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with single defect in different location have been calculated. Defined the parameter N as the number of the layers located to the left of the single defect, set 13 as the number of the total layers of the 1-D PCs included the defect, during the course of the number of N increased from 0 to 12, as it upped to 3, there occurred defect band gap in the stop band gap, and when N upped to 12, the defect band gap disappeared; besides, the defect band gap is at frequencies between 0.3000~0.3090, most of them are at the frequencies around 0.3020. In addition, the transmittance has a turning point at the parameter N=7, that is to say, there has an approximate symmetry in transmittance when the parameter N increased from 3 to 11.
