Some new band gaps and defect modes of 1D photonic crystals composed of metamaterials
Solid State Communications, 2007
Some new band gaps are found in 1D photonic crystals (1D PC) composed of metamaterials (including negative-μ materials, negative-ε materials and negative refractive index materials). These band gaps are investigated by using the transfer matrix method. The properties (central frequency and width of the gap) of these new gaps are invariant with the scaling of the lattice constant and show weak dependence with the incident angles. These new gaps result from the dispersive properties of the metamaterials. A defect mode appears inside these new gaps upon the introduction of a defect layer. The spectral position of the defect mode is invariant upon the change of scale length and almost independent of incident angles.

In this paper, we design an optical filter by using one-dimensional (1d) ternary metallodielectric photonic crystal (PC). We use a dielectric defect layer between ternary asymmetric cells with this structure (ABC)NDM (ABC)N and also increase the number of dielectric defect layers. Then, we plot transmission spectra in terms of wavelength and different angles of incidence in transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations. We show defect modes and photonic band gap (PBG) on the plane of wavelength and incident angles in both TE and TM polarizations. We also plot transmission in the lossless structure and compared loss and lossless structures. Furthermore, we compare dielectric defect layer with metallic defect layer in both TE and TM polarizations. Moreover, we plot symmetric structure (ABC)NDM (CBA)N in TE and TM waves. The theoretical analysis shows that there is one defect mode which moves to the shorter wavelength by increasing angles of incidence in asymmetri...
Reflection and anomalous behavior of refractive index in defect photonic band gap structure
Microwave and Optical Technology …, 2003
This paper describes the reflectivity properties of layerby-layer-based photonic band gap (PBG) structures with a defect in their normal structures. The defect is created by the removal of a single material slab. To calculate reflectivity, we use a 2 ϫ 2 matrix formulation. The defective PBG structure gives nearly 100% reflections in the near-infrared region in addition to some parts of the visible region of the wavelengths for all possible angles, and thus acts as broadband reflector. Also, we study the anomalous behavior of the refractive index in these structures and find that the effective refractive index n eff Ӷ 1 nears the band edges.
Design of Photonic Crystals Devices with Defects
A powerful and efficient method based on the leaky mode propagation method and recently applied by the authors to model defect-free optical periodic structures, is used to characterize photonic bandgap structures incorporating multiple defects, having arbitrary shape and dimensions. The importance of the defect-mode characterization in photonic bandgap materials materials is due to the intensive use of defects for light localization to design very promising optical devices. In order to prove the usefulness of the method, design of an optical filters for dense wavelength division multipexing applications, has been carried out by the developed model.

We systematically investigate realization of super narrow-pass-band and super narrow-transmission-angle filters with one-dimensional defective photonic crystal hetero-structures through the transfer-matrix method. The structure consists of a few different defective one-dimensional photonic crystal blocks. The influence of the relative bandwidth of the defective layer, the number of periods, and the ratio of index of the high index material to the low index material in the structures were studied. We find that when the relative width factor m and n of the defective layers are even numbers, relatively narrower pass-angle will be achieved. When the number of periods of the structures increases, the pass-angle will decrease exponentially. When the number of periods reaches 12, the pass-angle gets to be less than 0.002 degree. In addition, higher ratio of the two indices in the structures corresponds to smaller transmission angle and narrower wavelength pass-band.
Analysis of photonic band gap structure for the design of photonic devices
Comptes Rendus Physique, 2004
A detailed analysis, based on Kronig-Penney model and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, is used to explain the air-filling factor effect on the optical properties of defect-free photonic crystals. By the use of the Kronig-Penney model, we calculated the photonic band structure for electromagnetic waves in a structure consisting of a periodic square array of dielectric rods of lattice constant a separated by air holes. Gaps in the resulting band structures are found for waves of both polarisations. We analysed the air-filling factor effect on both polarisations in low and high frequency regions. It is shown that the frequency of the lower TE (transverse-electric) band edge is independent of the air-filling factor in the low frequency region. The opposite behaviour holds for the upper band edge, growing rapidly with the air-filling factor. Using the FDTD we simulated the electric field as the pulse propagates through the structure. The results of both approaches are compared, and the operation characteristics of the measuring air-filling factor device are described. We investigate the optical properties of a single and two defects incorporated in the PC, which can be potentially applied to ultra small surface-emitting-type channel drop filter. It is shown that the frequency and polarisation of the dropped light can be controlled by changing the size and/or shape of the defect. The electric field distribution calculations show that the electric field for a given frequency is located only at the defect, which means that each defect can detect only its corresponding wavelength.

A generalized design of one dimensional photonic crystal based optical filter with lossy materials
Optical and Quantum Electronics, 2016
A fully generalized analytical method has been formulated for the design of a Photonic crystal based optical band-pass filter with lossy materials. The losses have been considered within the constitutive materials, both for crystals and defects. Relations between the material's loss-tangent and resonator's mode amplitudes have been understood. The optimum filter structures for any refractive index ratio have been found and tolerance level of such design has been estimated. Finally, a FDTD simulation based results have been presented, to verify the transmission spectra of such optimized filter structures.
Theory of zero-width band gap effect in photonic crystals made of metamaterials
Physical Review B, 2007
It is shown that the band structure of a one-dimensional ͑1D͒ photonic crystal ͑PC͒ made of successive layers of single-epsilon-negative ͑ENG͒ and single-mu-negative ͑MNG͒ media can exhibit a photonic band gap ͑PBG͒ of zero width. Although this band gap consists of band edges only, the normal component of group velocity does not vanish. It is shown that the condition of existence of a zero width band gap, coincides with the Alù-Engheta conditions ͓A. Alù and N. Engheta, IEEE Tr. AP 51, 2558 ͑2003͔͒ for the restoration of the amplitude and phase of an electromagnetic wave by means of ENG-MNG bilayers. At the conjugate Alù-Engheta conditions the band gap of zero width transforms into a zeroef f band gap ͓H. Jiang, H. Chen, H. Li, et al., Phys. Rev. E 69, 066607 ͑2004͔͒ that allows using this PC for perfect imaging. The origin and robustness of these effects is studied.
