“…3͑b͒ indicates no fraction of k i ; in a 1D photonic crystal, there is a significant fraction of k i in a dielectric photonic band gap, but in a 2D photonic crystal, the practical flow of wave energy diverges to the ⌫-M direction. 31 When we consider 2D structure composed of lossy microplasmas, the effects of dispersion in a plasma shown in Fig. 2 and of 2D spatial periodicity shown in Fig.…”

Microplasmas have a number of potential roles to control propagating electromagnetic waves. This report focuses on novel physics of periodic microplasma assembly for electromagnetic media, which is verified by experimental results and analyzed by numerical methods. Using an assembly composed of microplasmas, novel functions are expected due to its complex dielectric function arising from dielectric and lossy properties. The dielectric property creates photonic band gaps, and the lossy property drastically changes transmittance around the photonic band gaps, leading to an attenuation gap. As a result, a "complex" dispersion relation or a band diagram in the three-dimensional space of real and imaginary wavenumbers and wave frequency will open new possibilities to control electromagnetic waves by complex-variable filters composed of microplasma assemblies.

“…Previous works investigated the use of this gas to control the EBG materials. In particular, Sakai et al [9] created an EBG structure based on discharges arrays. This approach is faced mainly with the issue of plasma losses and the need for high amounts of power to create the plasma elements.…”

A tunable electromagnetic-bangap (EBG) structure based on a double layer slotline using plasma is proposed. The plasma permittivity can be tuned by the electron density. The idea of integrating periodical plasma elements inside the slot to tune the stopband is investigated. An electron density and an electron collision frequency equal to 1.75 10 13 cm −3 and 10 10 s −1 respectively, are the plasma parameters selected in this study. The simulations reveal a shift rate of the second stopband equal to 6%. A new configuration of the structure is also proposed to adapt it better to the experimental requirements. Based on the simulation results, adding the plasma elements to the modified configuration shifts the stopband 4% and reduces its bandwidth by 43% (at −20 dB).

“…Moreover, by replacing solid material with plasma, two important features are added to conventional PC: time-varying controllability and strong dispersion around the electron plasma density. These two features make the frequency of EM wave propagating in PPC range from microwaves to THz waves, according to the scale and the electron density of plasma [16].…”

Abstract-The optical properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves propagating in one-dimensional plasma dielectric photonic crystal made of alternate thin layers of two materials namely micro plasma layer and dielectric material layer is studied theoretically. The dispersions both for ω < ω p and ω > ω p are deduced by transfer matrix method and the photonic band gap structure and the reflection spectra are computed. The results show that the band gap structure and reflection spectra are tuned correspondingly due to the dielectric constant of the microplasma layer modified differently in different frequency ranges. Parameter dependence of the effects is calculated and discussed.
