Function photonic crystals

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals

In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...

Superparamagnetic Photonic Crystals

tion. Conversely, a semi-rigid, optimized acentric organization results in coherent second harmonic emission at the supramolecular level, the corresponding intensity from the dendrimer solution being almost proportional to Nmonomerábmonomerñ. The Nmonomer dependence assumes a linear additive model, whereby the individual sub-units follow an interaction-free oriented gas behavior. We have, there...

Nonreciprocal magnetic photonic crystals.

We study band dispersion relations omega(k-->) of a photonic crystal with at least one of the constitutive components being a magnetically ordered material. It is shown that by proper spatial arrangement of magnetic and dielectric components one can construct a magnetic photonic crystal with strong spectral asymmetry (nonreciprocity) omega(k-->) not equal omega(-k-->). The spectral asymmetry, i...
