“…This tremendous ability of 1D PCs with defects may be exploited for enormous photonic applications, such as biosensors, optical switches, optical splitters, and optical lters. [7][8][9][10] Recently, researchers have shown keen interest in developing PC-based devices composed of gyroidal, metamaterial, superconductor, liquid crystal, metal, nanocomposite materials, etc. for a variety of potential applications, such as omnidirectional mirrors, all-optical switches, high-sensitivity biosensors, PBG waveguides, and tuneable lters.…”
