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.

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.

The model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with a centered defect with increasing number of layers was considered, and characteristic matrix method was used to calculate the transmittance spectra of the 1-D PCs. From the transmittance spectra, it shown that during the course of the number N of the layers of 1-D PCs’ one side symmetrical increased from 2 to 16, there occurred defect band gap in the stop band gap, when N upped to 16 , the defect band gap disappeared; besides, the defect band gap is at the frequencies around 0.30. In addition, in the progress of N increased from 3 to 16, the defect band gap reduced from the frequency range 0.0570 to 0.00, and the transmittance declined from 73.59% to 13.94% in the defect band gap.

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.

The time-harmonic electromagnetic wave through the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) perpendicularly has been considered. By theoretical calculation with characteristic matrix method, the dispersion curves and the transmittance spectra were calculated. From the dispersion curves, it shown that the lowest band gap is at frequencies between 0.23~0.32, i.e. it is around 0.27. In addition, according to the transmittance spectra, it shown that the transmittance declined from 40.6% to 0 dramatically along with the periodicity N of the periodically stratified medium increased from 2 to 1024, it also exhibited that when the periodicity N was upped to 8, it could form 1-D PCs.

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.

The photonic crystal has the property that electromagnetic waves with interval of frequency in photonic band gap (PBG) can not be propagated, so it has important applying and researching value. The traditional one-dimensional photonic crystal is with narrow band gap width, and the reflection within the band is small, especially the band gap is sensitive to the incident angle and the polarization of light. A new photonic band gap (PBG) structure, metallodielectric photonic crystal by inserting metal film in the medium can overcomes the shortcomings mentioned above. The one-dimensional Ag/SiOx photonic crystal was prepared, and theoretical and experimental researches were developed. The results show that photonic band gap appears gradually and the band gap width increase with increasing of period of repeating thickness. With the thickness of Ag film increasing, the band gap width increases, but the starting wavelength of the photonic band gap keeps unchanged. With thickness of SiOx film increasing, the band gap width of photonic band gap also increases, but it is not obvious and starting wavelength increases.

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.

Different experimental strategies towards the 3-dimensional photonic crystals operating at optical wavelength are classified. The detailed discussion is devoted to the recent progress in photonic crystals fabricated by template method — the photonic band gap materials on the base of opal. The control of photonic properties of opal-based gratings is achieved through impregnating the opal with high refractive index semiconductors and dielectrics. Experimental study demonstrated the dependence of the stop band behaviour upon the type of impregnation (complete or partial) and showed a way for approaching complete photonic band gap. The photoluminescence from opal- semiconductor gratings revealed suppression of spontaneous emission in the gap region with following enhancement of the emission efficiency at the low-energy edge of the gap.
