Enlarged Photonic Band Gap in Heterostructure of Metallic Photonic and Superconducting Photonic Crystals

We show theoretically that the frequency range of photonic band gap of a hetero-structure which is made of a metallic photonic and superconducting photonic crystal can be enlarged due to the combination of the reflection band properties of the superconductor–dielectric (PC1) and metallic–dielectric (PC2) periodic structures. The transmittance and band structure of the considered structures are calculated using simple transfer matrix method and the Bloch theorem. Beside this, we have also calculated the transmittance of the superconducting photonic structure (PC1), metallic photonic structure (PC2) and heterostructure of metallic photonic and superconductor photonic crystals (PC1/PC2) for TE and TM-mode at the different angles of incidence.     

Photonic Crystals

Abstract

In this paper, we review the early motivation for photonic crystal research which was derived from the need for a photonic bandgap in quantum optics. This led to a series of experimental and theoretical searches for the elusive photonic bandgap structures: those three-dimensionally periodic dielectric structures which are to photon waves, as semiconductor crystals are to electron waves. We shall describe how the photonic semiconductor can be ‘doped’, producing tiny electromagnetic cavities. Finally, we shall summarize some of the anticipated implications of photonic band structure for quantum electronics and the prospects for the creation of photonic crystals in the optical domain.     

Photonic Bands

Abstract

Photonic band structure has been computed using ellipsoidal grains in f.c.c. lattice. Bandgaps have been found and the conditions for the appearance of such gaps are discussed. The effective long-wavelength dielectric constants for the ordinary and the extraordinary rays are calculated and compared with the predictions of effective medium and Maxwell-Garnett theories.     

Maximization of Photonic Bandgaps in Two-Dimensional Superconductor Photonic Crystals

In this paper, we investigate the properties of photonic band structures in two-dimensional superconductor photonic crystals (2D-SCPCs) using the frequency dependent plane wave expansion method. We consider two types of 2D-SCPCs, which are composed of superconductor (dielectric) rods embedded into a dielectric (superconductor) background, named type I (type II) SCPCs. We target maximization of the gap-to-mid-gap ratio by varying many parameters, namely, shape of the rods, the operating temperature, the permittivity of the dielectric material, and the threshold frequency of the superconductor. We show that the type II SCPCs have a higher gap-to-mid-gap ratio than the type I SCPCs. In addition, the PBGs can be tuned efficiently by the operating temperature. Moreover, the photonic band structures can be tailored by changing the dielectric constant of the background (rods) in the type I (type II) SCPCs.     

Photonic Bandgaps in Disordered Inverse‐Opal Photonic Crystals

Three‐dimensional photonic crystals with full bandgaps at optical wavelengths can be fabricated with inverse‐opal techniques. We have shown that the bandgap is extremely sensitive to the presence of geometric disorder in the crystals (see Figure). The bandgap closes completely with a disorder strength as small as under two percent of the lattice constant. This fragility persists even at very high refractive index contrasts and is attributed to the creation of a bandgap at high frequency bands (8–9 bands) in inverse‐opal crystals. This should impose severe demand on the quality of lattice uniformity.

Mechanochromic Photonic Gels

Polymer gels are remarkable materials with physical structures that can adapt significantly and quite rapidly with changes in the local environment, such as temperature, light intensity, electrochemistry, and mechanical force. An interesting phenomenon observed in certain polymer gel systems is mechanochromism – a change in color due to a mechanical deformation. Mechanochromic photonic gels are periodically structured gels engineered with a photonic stopband that can be tuned by mechanical forces to reflect specific colors. These materials have potential as mechanochromic sensors because both the mechanical and optical properties are highly tailorable via incorporation of diluents, solvents, nanoparticles, or polymers, or the application of stimuli such as temperature, pH, or electric or strain fields. Recent advances in photonic gels that display strain‐dependent optical properties are discussed. In particular, this discussion focuses primarily on polymer‐based photonic gels that are directly or indirectly fabricated via self‐assembly, as these materials are promising soft material platforms for scalable mechanochromic sensors.
