Omnidirectional reflection from a one-dimensional photonic crystal.

چکیده
We demonstrate that one-dimensional photonic crystal structures (such as multilayer films) can exhibit complete reflection of radiation in a given frequency range for all incident angles and polarizations. We derive a general criterion for this behavior that does not require materials with very large indices. We perform numerical studies that illustrate this effect.

Phase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
متن کاملInvestigation of Photonic Band Gaps of One-Dimensional Heterostructure Magnetic Photonic Crystals
Multiple structures in one-dimensional photonic crystals have great potentials for ultrawide omnireflectors and tunable switches. In this paper, we study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a one-dimensional heterostructure magnetic photonic crystal for both TE and TM incidence polarizations by means of the transfer matrix method. Results show that by stacking two magnetic photonic crys...

In this paper, the properties of the defect mode in the photonic band gap ofone-dimensional ternary photonic crystals containing high temperature superconductorlayer (SPCs) have been theoretically investigated. We considered the quasi-periodiclayered structures by choosing two order of ternary Thue-Morse structures with mirrorsymmetry. We investigated the transmission spectra of these structure...
متن کاملAll-dielectric one-dimensional periodic structures for total omnidirectional reflection and partial spontaneous emission control
A remarkable property of one-dimensional alldielectric periodic structures has recently been reported, namely a one-dimensional lattice can totally reflect electromagnetic wave of any polarization at all angles within a prescribed frequency region. Unlike their metallic counterpart, such all-dielectric omnidirectional mirrors are nearly free of loss at optical frequencies. Here we discuss the p...
متن کاملEnhancement of Omnidirectional Reflection Bands in One-dimensional Photonic Crystals with Left-handed Materials
In this paper we show, theoretically, that total omnidirectional reflected frequency band is enlarged considerably by using onedimensional photonic crystal (PC) structure composed of alternate layers of ordinary material (OM) and left handed material (LHM). From the analysis it is found that the proposed structure has very wide range of omnidirectional total frequency bands for both polarizatio...
