Monolayer MoS2 has attracted wide attention because
of its finite bandgap, and it has become a potential candidate for the
investigation of the Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift.
However, the magnitude of the
GH shift in free-standing
monolayer MoS2 is small, which greatly hinders its
possible applications in the photoelectric sensors and detectors.
We have theoretically designed
a defective quasiperiodic photonic crystal and investigated its GH
shift, where monolayer MoS2 is sandwiched between two
quasiperiodic photonic crystals arranged by the Pell sequence. By
optimizing the thicknesses of all the components and the period number
of the Pell quasiperiodic photonic crystal, we find that the GH shift
of the designed structure is significantly enhanced at the specific
working wavelength. In addition, we discuss the influence of the
thicknesses of the dielectric components on the GH shift. Our work
confirms that the quasiperiodic photonic crystal structure has the
ability to enhance the GH shift of monolayer transition metal
dichalcogenides, which provides a new platform for the GH
investigations and greatly promotes the applications of this defective
structure in optoelectric devices.
