“…Experimental transmission with and without the row of discharges activated are in good agreement with simulations. EM transmission along a 90° bend demonstrating reconfigurability can take place on time scales associated with plasma ignition and decay [24]. Plasma arrays of smaller lattice constants and higher plasma densities can result in bandgaps in the several tens of GHz range.…”

“…Also, heavily doped semiconductor materials can be regarded as plasma materials 25 , 43 – 46 . It is noted that plasma materials have been used for bandgap devices 22 , 25 , PhC waveguides 44 and PhC filters 45 in theory and experiment where characteristic parameters of some plasma materials can be found. When an external magnetic field is applied, the magnetized plasma becomes anisotropic, dispersive, and dissipative, which depends mainly on the external magnetic fields.…”

We propose a type of polarization-independent circulator based on ferrite and plasma materials in a two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) slab. First, on the basis of analyzing the wave equations in ferrite and plasma materials, TE and TM circulators are realized with ferrite and plasma in PhCs, respectively. Then, by properly combining these two types of circulators together, a polarization-independent circulator is achieved and investigated. The results show that, for both polarizations, the insertion loss and isolation for the polarization-independent circulator are less than 0.15 dB and more than 20 dB, respectively. Finite-element method is used to calculate the characteristics of the circulators and Nelder-Mead optimization method is employed to obtain the optimized parameters. The idea presented here may have potential applications in integrated photonic circuits and devices.

“…Microplasma and larger arrays have been investigated for use as photonic-crystal-like materials. These studies were typically for EM waves whose wavelength is larger than the distance between microplasma elements [11][12][13]. Ideally, the distance between microplasma elements should be smaller than the EM wavelength so that statistical changes in the spatial distribution of the plasma do not significantly affect the EM interaction [4,14].…”

Microplasma arrays (MAs) are being investigated as a method to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The use of MAs as an electromagnetic wave controlling material is attractive as the electrical properties of MAs can be rapidly changed through combinations of the choice of operating conditions (e.g. pressure, gas mixture), the spatial distribution of the plasma and applied voltage waveforms. In this paper, results from a computational investigation of the plasma properties of small arrays of microplasmas are discussed. The model systems are arrays of microplasmas sustained in rare gases at pressures of up to 100 Torr in a sealed chamber. Individual plasma cells are ≈100 μm in size. Pulsed dc voltage waveforms having widths of 30 ns are applied at repetition rates of up to 10 MHz. The cross-talk between plasma cells was investigated, as well as the consequences of gas heating and sequencing of the pulses. We found that even without physical barriers between the plasma cells to control cross-talk between cells, the individual character of each cell can be retained; however the plasma cells were not completely independent. The diffusion of metastable excited atomic states and small fluxes of ions did enable adjacent cells to operate at lower voltages. The ability to control microwave propagation through waveguides was computationally investigated by placing a MA inside a standard waveguide and examining the resulting transmission coefficients. We found that for frequencies of tens to 100 GHz, the transmitted power could be controlled by the spatial distribution of the MA cells with respect to the modal structure of the wave.
