The interaction of electromagnetic E-waves with one-dimensional photonic crystals consisting of weak conductive and transparent layers is studied theoretically. If the thicknesses of both the conductive and transparent layers are of the order of skin depth, then the domains of transmission and reflection appear. However, if the thickness of the conductive layers is much less than the skin depth but much more than the Debye screening radius, the resonant behavior of the optical power coefficients appears at a frequency close to the plasma frequency.
The longitudinal plasmons in the plasma of conductivity electrons between the surfaces of a thin flat conductive film are investigated. It is shown that these plasmons lead to a resonant behaviour of the optical power coefficient of E-wave interaction with this film. The conditions for appearance of these plasmon resonances are found, and peculiarities of the dependence of the resonant frequencies on the film characteristics are revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
