Metamaterial Control of Hybrid Multifunctional High-Tc Superconducting Photonic Crystals for 1D Quasi-periodic Structure Potential Applications

Abstract

In the present work, electromagnetic wave properties of the Fibonacci one-dimention photonic crystal (1DPC) structure consisting of double negative materials incorporated high Tc superconductor are theoretically investigated. It is found that the quasi-periodic structure created a photonic band gap as a periodic structure. We have calculated the transmittance spectra and noticed a wide band gap which can be controlled in it by the thickness of metamaterial, superconductor layer and incidence angle.Photonic band gap became more noticeable by increasing the thickness of the metamaterial and superconductor layers. The structure was affected by changing the incident angle and the band gap width increase with a noticeable shift to short wavelength region. Additionally, the photonic band gap shifted to longer wavelength value with increasing the operating tempeature. Furthermore, we have studied the pressure effects and we found the change in the location and width of photonic band gap.
