“…While to stop the IR in a range more than 2500 nm, we can use the case of d1 = 250 nm as in figure 6(f ). A similar study recently implemented the effect of VO 2 on PhC structure with average reflectance in 3-5 μm of 89.15% in the semiconducting state, while decreasing to 66.45% in the metallic phase [46]. However, our study shows more intensive results.…”

“…At the same time, we can use it in other applications to control the flow of NIR-MIR radiation based on the targeted area by changing the thickness of the film. Controlling the light flow in NIR and MIR radiation in winter and summer environments helps switch smart window applications [46]. Singh et al, used VO 2 thin films over SiO 2 /TiO 2 for NIR thermochromic and phase transition applications to illustrate the effect of 1D PhCs on the optical transmission of VO 2 nanostructures [77].…”

“…Controlling the light flow in near-infrared (NIR) and IR radiation in both low (winter) and high (summer) temperatures are helpful for many applications such as switching thermochromic and smart windows [46]. Zhang et al investigated a hybrid one-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) including phase transition VO 2 to better understand the role of VO 2 in the long-wavelength through the phase transition [46]. However, this structure includes expensive and complicated fabricated materials such as germanium (Ge) and zinc sulfide (ZnS), which make this device difficult to commercialize.…”

The application of the photonic superlattice in advanced photonics has become a demanding field, especially for two-dimensional and strongly correlated oxides. Because it experiences an abrupt metal-insulator transition (MIT) near ambient temperature, where the electrical resistivity varies by orders of magnitude, vanadium oxide (VO2) shows potential as a building block for infrared switching and sensing devices. We reported a first principle study of superlattice structures of VO2 as a strongly correlated phase transition material and tungsten diselenide (WSe2) as a 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layer. Based on first-principles calculations, we exploit the effect of semiconductor monoclinic and metallic tetragonal state of VO2 with WSe2 in a photonic superlattices structure through the near and mid-infrared (NIR-MIR) thermochromic phase transition regions. By increasing the thickness of the VO2 layer, the photonic bandgap (PhB) gets red-shifted. We observed linear dependence of the PhB width on the VO2 thickness. For the monoclinic case of VO2, the number of the forbidden bands increases with the number of layers of WSe2. New forbidden gaps are preferred to appear at a slight angle of incidence, and the wider one can predominate at larger angles. We presented an efficient way to control the flow of the NIR-MIR in both summer and winter environments for phase transition and photonic thermochromic applications. This study's findings may help understand vanadium oxide's role in tunable photonic superlattice for infrared switchable devices and optical filters.

“…In this work, we investigate the novel implementation of ZnS, a Mid-IR to LWIR transparent chalcogenide, as the cavity spacer layer in the FP-cavity system. To date, there have been several design works on incorporating ZnS with VO2 [14][15] [16], along with experimental works on Sol-gel VO2-Ge-ZnS hybrid Bragg-gratings [16] and ZnS/VO2 nanoparticles [17]. However, these experimental works characterized limited bandwidths of 3-5 µm and 8-14 µm, did not utilize a planar FP-cavity, and have not demonstrated thin film crystalline growth of VO2 with ZnS.…”

Low-weight, passive, thermal-adaptive radiation technologies are needed to maintain an operable temperature for spacecraft while they experience various energy fluxes. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a commonly used dynamic response material that can transition from a low emissivity (insulating) state to a high emissivity (radiating) state near room temperature. In this study, we used a thin-film coating with the Fabry-Perot (FP) effect to enhance emissivity contrast (Δε) between the VO2 phase-change states. This coating utilizes a novel hybrid material architecture that combines VO2 with the mid-and long-wave infrared transparent chalcogenide, zinc sulfide (ZnS) as a cavity spacer layer. We simulated the design parameter space to obtain a theoretical maximum Δε of 0.63 and grew a prototype device. Using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, we determined that an intermediate buffer layer of TiO2 is necessary to execute the polycrystalline growth of VO2 on ZnS. We optically characterized the pulsed laser deposition grown VO2 and ZnS using IR-spectroscopic ellipsometry. Through measuring the temperature-dependent FTIR spectroscopy, our prototype sample demonstrated FP-cavity enhanced adaptive thermal emittance.

“…The artificially synthesized layered photonic structures (LPSs) can be composed of periodically arranged media, which have been widely studied due to their special electromagnetic properties. [1][2][3] There is a photonic band gap in the photonic structure that prohibits the propagation of photons, and the research on the photonic band gap has topology and phase. [4] However, the photonic band gaps of conventional LPSs are not tunable, limiting many related pieces of research greatly.…”

In this article, through the optimized arrangement of the magnetized plasma, dielectric, and nonlinear Kerr dielectric, a tunable reflection phase retarder with a certain bandwidth is investigated. When the electric field of the incident electromagnetic wave is parallel to the xoy plane and has an angle of 45°with the x-axis, the electric field can be further decomposed into E x and E y along the xand y-axes, indicating TM and TE waves, respectively. The results show that under reasonable parameters, the 180°or −180°phase delay of the reflected wave of the proposed structure is obtained and adjusted. In particular, the nonlinear bistable response at this performance is also demonstrated. Furthermore, to verify the superiority of the obtained bandwidth of the phase retarder, the influences of the incident angle, the plasma frequency, the external magnetic field, and the nonlinear light intensity on the bandwidth of the phase retarder have been studied. It is observed that the total phase retarder bandwidth can reach 2.6 GHz by appropriately optimizing those parameters. Additionally, this work provides constructive suggestions for tunable broadband phase blockers and half-wave plates, and it still holds some potential significance in the radome.
