Defect mode properties in a one-dimensional photonic crystal

Based on the transfer matrix method (TMM), the interaction of electromagnetic waves with one-dimensional (1D) defective photonic crystal in ultraviolet (UV) frequency region had been studied. With the calculated transmittance characteristics in the wavelength domain, it can be found that the defect...

Summary:Based on the transfer matrix method (TMM), the interaction of electromagnetic waves with one-dimensional (1D) defective photonic crystal in ultraviolet (UV) frequency region had been studied. With the calculated transmittance characteristics in the wavelength domain, it can be found that the defect mode can be generated within the photonic band gap (PBG) at the central wavelength. Also the effects of many parameters such as the angle of incidence, the state of polarization and the defect layer thickness have been taken in account. A significant effect in generating multiple defect peaks within the PBG has been illustrated.
