Enhancement of Omnidirectional Photonic Bandgaps in One-Dimensional Superconductor–Dielectric Photonic Crystals with a Staggered Structure

In this paper, the properties of the omnidirectional photonic bandgap (OBG) realized by one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals with a staggered structure which is composed of superconductor and isotropic dielectric have been theoretically investigated by the transfer matrix method (TMM). From the numerical results, it has been shown that such OBG is insensitive to the incident angle and the polarization of electromagnetic wave (EM wave), and the frequency range and central frequency of OBG can be tuned by the ambient temperature of system, the average thickness of superconductor layer, the average thickness of dielectric layer, and staggered parameters, respectively. The bandwidth of OBG can be notably enlarged with increasing average thickness and staggered parameter of superconductor layer. Moreover, the frequency range of OBG can be narrowed with increasing the average thickness, staggered parameter of dielectric layer, and ambient temperature, respectively. The damping coefficient of superconductor layer has no effect on the bandwidth of OBG under low-temperature conditions. It is shown that 1D superconductor–dielectric photonic crystals (SDPCs) have a superior feature in the enhancement of frequency range of OBG. This kind of OBG has potential applications in filters, microcavities, and fibers, etc.     

Enhanced light trapping in dye-sensitized solar cell by coupling to 1D photonic crystal and accounting for finite coherence length

Theoretical analysis of dye-sensitized solar cell integrated with photonic crystals based on coupled coherent and geometrical optics formalism has presented. The effect of structural parameters, such as thickness of layer, number of unit cells and light incident angle on the optical properties and photo-current magnification for the proposed photonic crystal based dye-sensitized solar cell have studied. The angular response of the cell in terms of light harvesting efficiency and cumulative photo-generation rate has also analysed. A strategy has presented to enhance the performance of the cell under oblique incidence. The effect of number of photonic crystal unit cells has also analysed in view of percentage enhancement in cumulative photo-generation rate. This work provides new insight into the design and tailoring of the photonic crystals to enhance the light harvesting efficiency in the solar cells.     

Introduction of a planar defect into colloidal photonic-crystal films and their optical properties

A defect mode in the bandgap of photonic crystals is a key factor for potential applications, emission, bandpass filter, sensor, and low throughput laser. A Fabry-Perot type cavity was known as a multilayer film with a planar defect or a one-dimensional colloidal photonic crystal film with a planar defect. In this work, we have developed a simple and easy method by two colloidal crystals, i.e., face center cubic (fcc) structure, films bonded together by hot pressing to form a sandwich structure, and clear defect mode was observed in the photonic bandgap of fcc (1 1 1) direction. We have investigated the effect of the thickness of the defect layer in the sandwich structure on the optical properties. A single or double dips appeared in Bragg's diffraction peak at different planar defect thicknesses. In addition, a simulation of the reflection spectra of multilayer film calculation showed the defect mode is much influenced by the planar defect thickness.     

Optical Properties of New Type of Superconductor-Semiconductor Metamaterial Photonic Crystals

Based on the fundamentals of the characteristic matrix method, we theoretically investigate the optical properties of onedimensional superconductor metamaterial photonic crystals. The photonic crystals are composed of a superconductor layer and two semiconductor metamaterial layers of In_0.53Ga_0.47As with different doping densities. The numerical results show negative values in permittivity of the metamaterial layer along a broad band of the incident radiation. The negative values show a significant effect on the optical properties of the present structure. Moreover, the optical properties of our design can be controlled by different parameters such as thicknesses of the layers, the operating temperature and the doping density. Our results may be suitable for different applications in the optical community.     

Broad-wavelength-range chemically tunable block-copolymer photonic gels

Responsive photonic crystals have been developed for chemical sensing using the variation of optical properties due to interaction with their environment. Photonic crystals with tunability in the visible or near-infrared region are of interest for controlling and processing light for active components of display, sensory or telecommunication devices. Here, we report a hydrophobic block-hydrophilic polyelectrolyte block polymer that forms a simple one-dimensional periodic lamellar structure. This results in a responsive photonic crystal that can be tuned via swelling of the hydrophilic layers by contact with a fluid reservoir. The glassy hydrophobic layer forces expansion of the hydrophilic layer along the layer normal, yielding extremely large optical tunability through changes in both layer thickness and index of refraction. Polyelectrolyte polymers are known to be highly responsive to a range of stimuli. We show very large reversible optical changes due to variation of the salt concentration of a water reservoir. These one-dimensional Bragg stacks reflect incident light from the ultraviolet-visible region to the near-infrared region (lambda(peak)=350-1,600 nm) with over a 575% change in the position of the stop band. Our work demonstrates the extremely high responsivity possible for polyelectrolyte-based photonic materials.     

General conditions of polarization-independent transmissions in one-dimensional magnetic photonic crystals

Abstract

Based on the transfer matrix theory, general conditions of polarization-independent transmissions in one-dimensional photonic crystals are derived. It is shown that the polarization-independent transmissions are obtained in photonic crystals consisting of two alternating layers with the same refraction index and optical thickness as well as the mutually reciprocal wave impedance. By using two different photonic crystals satisfying the above relation to constitute the light quantum-well structures, the structures have polarization-independent transmission properties. When a defective layer with wave impedance of 1 is introduced in the photonic crystals, the defective photonic crystals also have the polarization-independent transmission properties. In addition, polarization-independent low-pass spatial filters are achieved based on these photonic crystal structures.

The loss of the polarization dependence of diffraction reflection in chiral photonic crystals in the presence of anisotropic defects

The properties of defect modes in chiral photonic crystals with anisotropic defects are considered. The problem has been solved using the modified method of Ambartsumyan layer addition. The influence of the defect layer thickness and the optical axis orientation on the properties of defect modes is analyzed. At a certain thickness of the defect layer, the medium loses its main property, namely, the polarization dependence of diffraction reflection.     

TM Wave Resonant Peaks in Defect-Free Multilayer Structures Containing Nano-Scale Y123 Superconductors

In the ultraviolet region and by using transfer matrix method, the transmission spectra of electromagnetic waves through one-dimensional quasiperiodic photonic structures consisting of high-temperature yttrium barium copper oxide (Y123) superconductor and strontium titanate (STO) dielectric layers are studied theoretically. It is shown that for TE polarization at oblique incidence two band gaps are created, while for TM polarization three band gaps are produced. The edges of both polarizations shift to higher wavelengths by increasing incident angles. Also, for angles of incidence greater than 78^°, the second gap for TM-polarized light is eliminated. It is also found that in the supposed structure the number of PBGs can be modulated by the thickness of dielectric layer, while it is nearly insensitive to the thickness of superconductor layer. Interestingly, for the incidence angles other than normal incidence the structure can exhibit some narrow resonant peaks near wavelengths where the electric permittivity of the superconductor layer changes sign. These resonant peaks are only for TM polarization and not present for TE polarization. This structure can act as a very compact polarization sensitive splitters and defect-free multichannel narrowband tunable filters.     

Defect mode in periodic and quasiperiodic one-dimensional photonic structures

The properties of one-dimensional periodic and quasiperiodic photonic crystals with a defect layer have been investigated. Transfer matrix method (TMM) has been used throughout this study. For periodic photonic crystals, results demonstrate the independence of the defect mode frequency on the defect layer while the defect mode transmission coefficient varies with the position of the defect layer position. On the other hand, defect mode frequency is not that responsive to the index of refraction of the defect layer. The quality factor of the defect mode has been studied as a function of the defect layer position as well as its thickness. For quasiperiodic photonic crystals, the frequency of the defect mode is very sensitive to the defect layer position as well as its thickness. An enhancement of the quality factor of the defect mode has been observed. This study may be valuable in designing optical devices and it may also provide a more accurate method to measure the index of refraction.
