“…The photonic bandgap changes with the refractive index, temperature, and angle of incidence of the beam [14,15]. Consequently, this physical phenomenon allows us to design photonic crystal-based optical sensors to detect changes in the refractive index [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and temperature [23,24]. Recently, photonic crystals have gained the courtesy of researchers for their exclusive properties, making them suitable for use in various applications such as omnidirectional reflectors [25][26][27][28][29][30], filters [31][32][33], and very sensitive sensors in the field of optics [34].…”
