The Effect of Incident Angle and Filling Factor on Dispersion Properties of Different Structures of One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

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.

Using the transfer matrix method, absorbing properties of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals are proposed. Compared with the absorption of bulk plasma, more absorbing bands have been found in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals, and the first absorbing band appears below the plasma frequency. These absorbing bands can be controlled by varying structure parameters, plasma parameters and the incident angle. Results show that the periodic number and collision frequency only control the absorbing magnitude. Plasma frequency, plasma thickness and incident angle affect both the absorbing magnitude and locations. Increasing the dielectric constant of the dielectric makes more absorbing bands appear. These features of one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals would have potential applications in tunable millimetre absorbers.

The One

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.

High Reflection

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.

Thz Range

By employing the characteristics matrix method, we have investigated the transmission properties of one-dimensional dielectric–semiconductor metamaterial photonic crystals (PC) at Terahertz (THz) range theoretically. The numerical results show the appearance of cutoff frequency within THz range. Furthermore, the thicknesses of the constituents materials and the filling factor have a significant effect on the cutoff frequency. The proposed structure may be useful in many applications, particularly in THz frequency regions.
