Analysis of Position-Dependent Extraordinary Optical Properties in Near-Zero-Permittivity Range for a One-Dimensional Superconducting Photonic Crystal

Abstract

The position-dependent extraordinary optical properties in near-zero-permittivity range for a one-dimensional superconducting photonic crystal consisting of alternating superconductor and dielectric layers are theoretically investigated by using the transfer matrix method. Based on the calculated reflectance spectrum, it is shown the extraordinary optical propriety depends on the relative position between the threshold wavelength and the photonic band gap. By suitably choosing the thickness of the superconducting or dielectric layer, one can design a transmission narrowband filter or resonator to satisfy their needs without introducing any physical defect in a superconducting photonic crystal.

Designing Plane Wave Modulators Using 1dpc Nanostructure With R-Grin Defect Layer

“…Nowadays this periodic arrangement of layers, having different materials in its layers, is called 1DPC, introduced first time by Yablonovitch [2] and John [3]. They are designed to control and manipulate the propagation of light [4][5][6][7][8][9]. It is called a crystal, because of its periodicity, and photonic because it acts on light.…”

Near Infrared Filtering Properties in Photonic Crystal Containing Extrinsic and Dispersive Semiconductor Defect

“…We can make a temperature-tuning filter by using liquid-crystal as a defect layer [2][3][4]. Temperature-tunable filter is also obtainable with a superconducting defect [5][6][7][8][9][10]. If the defect material is a ferroelectric, then the tuning can be achieved by the external electric field (or applied bias voltage) [11].…”
