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

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.


Introduction
Photonic crystals is artificial structures and attracted many researchers in the last years because their unique optical properties. They can generate the photonic band gap region where light cannot propagate in a similar way to the electronic band gaps in semiconductors 1 . Photonic crystals (PCs) has significant potential in optical communications and all modern photonic engineering. PCs composed of superconductor and dielectric materials attracted research interest in the recent past, due to the shorter dielectric losses, lower dispersion and wideband 2-5 . In 1968, Vesselago 6 predicted the negative index material (NIM) with a permittivity and permeability simultaneously turns to a negative value. This material is also known as double-negative (DNG) material that is an artificial composite, contrary to the usual double positive material. In addition to (DNG) material, a metamaterial can also be single negative material (SNG), that is, one of the two parameter ε,μ may be negative [6][7][8] . SNG material with negative permittivity called epsilon negative material (ENG), while a material with negative permeability called Mu-negative material (MNG) 9,10 . Superconducting and Metamaterial photonic crystals attract researchers interested in the past decades due to their unique properties [11][12][13][14][15][16] . Potential applications of metamaterials are various and include optical filters, medical devices, remote sensor detection and infrastructure monitoring, smart solar power management, crowd control, radomes, high-frequency battlefield communication and lenses for high-gain antennas 17 . In addition to the usual PCs which are an aperiodic multilayer structure, there are quasi-periodic structures discovered in 1984. The quasi-periodic structure is nonperiodic structure, but they are constituted by a simple deterministic recursive value 18 . The quasi-periodic system can also possess forbidden frequency regions similar to the band gaps of a periodic PCs [19][20][21] . One of the quasi-periodic structures called the Fibonacci sequence (FS) has been investigated 22,23 . Recently, (FS) structure containing metamaterial has been studied, for which the zero n-gap 24,25 , the omnidirectional gap 26 and other unique phenomena were found, compared to the normal periodic PCs consisting of MTMs 27 . Based on the use of DNG material, the purpose of this paper is to study the transmission properties of Fibonacci photonic crystal consisting of metamaterial (DNG) and high Tc superconductor material theoretically.

Theoretical Analysis
Let us consider a finite 1D quasi-periodic structure which is based on Fibonacci generation consisting of two types of layers, A and B, arranged in a Fibonacci sequence. Here, A and B are considered metamaterials (DNG) 28 , and high Tc superconductor material (  (2) Where f is the frequency measured in GHz. The second layer is a high Tc superconducting material which taken to be Hg(1223) with (Tc = 134 K and 0 6100 nm 11,29 , that possess refractive index ( ) 3 n . The Gorter Casimir Two-Fluid model was adopted to describe the electromagnetic response of the superconductor layer in the absence of an external magnetic field. The relative permittivity of superconductor material 16 .

By including the effect of hydrostatic pressure in Hg-1223, Tc is modified 30 , and the thickness of the superconductor layer modified due to the compressibility constant, . At 0 λ is constant, the relation between Tc and the applied pressure can be made in the following away: .

By using Transfer matrix method we can calculate transmittance and reflectance of the quasi-periodic photonic 32 . Based on this theory the transmittance is expressible as: with Where G in Equation 7 and 8 is the propagation matrix , and x K is X-component of the wave vector , 0 K is the free space wave vector. the reflectance is given by

Results and Discussion
The transmittance spectra of the Fibonacci quasi-periodic metamaterial superconductor photonic crystal for different series/conditions are depicted in Figures 2-6. Figure 2 and 3 illustrate the difference between periodic and quasi-periodic photonic crystal structure with the same material. The main Fibonacci band gaps can be ascribed to local correlations in the form of periodic strings with the analogous wavelength and distribution of layers 33 . The difference between periodic and Fibonacci metamaterial superconductor photonic crystal are displayed in Figure 2 and 3 which is very close to the reported work of Trabelsi and Kanzari 34 . Figure 2 shows the transmittance spectra of periodic metamaterial photonic crystal for the N=55 periods. The wide photonic band gap is   noticed in a visible light region. In Figure 3 quasi-periodic structure for Fibonacci sequence S11, there are two defect peaks in the photonic band gap (PBG), and the (PBG) width increased with changing the optical range of the PBG. That is mean the electromagnetic waves will be more controlled by this structure.
The effect of Fibonacci levels of the proposed 1D metamaterial superconductor PCs structure is first evaluated as displayed in Figure 4. The number of levels was varied from 5 to 11 while fixing d2, d3, and the ambient temperatures T to be 0.1µm (m), 0.08µm(S), and 100 K, respectively. By increasing the Fibonacci sequence to S11, it is noticed that the band gap edges become sharper, and the oscillation amplitude does not present a steady or gradual change on the contrary to the periodic metamaterial superconductor photonic crystal structure. Similar results were reported by Wu and Gao 35 . Figure 5 represents the simulated transmittance spectra of designed 1D Fibonacci metamaterial superconductor PC, with d2 ranging from (0.1µm to 0.110µm) while fixed d3 at (0.08µm). The operating temperature is set to be 100 K. When d2 is varied from 0.1 to 0.110 µm, the band gap edge shifted from 662 nm to 706 nm. This behavior of increasing metamaterial thickness has corresponded Wu et al. 36 . In this reference by increasing the thickness of metamaterial that the authors 36 used, we notice a small shift to long wavelength region and new three bands appeared for the main photonic band gap. But for our structure by increasing the thickness of metamaterial noticeable shifted to long wavelength region and several small gaps are observed in the left side of the main band gap which meaning that our structure is affected extensively by changing metamaterial thickness and could be useful in several optical applications as multichannel filters Figure 6, illustrates the effect of increasing the thickness of high Tc superconductor layer from (0.07-0.09) µm by keeping the thickness of the metamaterial layer fixed at d2 = 0.1 µm and operating temperature at T = 100 K. The photonic band gap width is increased by increasing the thickness of the superconductor layer and shifted to long wavelength region corresponded by Ubeid et al. 37 . As a result, the simulation results in Figures 5 and 6 reveal that the quasi-periodic 1D metamaterial superconductor PC can act as a high-pass filter. By comparing with metallic PCs, the superconductor PCs can overcome the inherent loss issue coming from the metallic extinction coefficient. Figure 7 shows that when the incident angle is increased from o 0 θ = normal incidence to o 20 θ = , the bandwidth was increased and shifted to the shorter wavelength region with successive harmonic ordered stop band before the original band gap. This result is convergent to that of reported by Srivastava and Ojha 38 . In Figure 8, the effect of the change of operating temperature on the proposed structure is demonstrated. As shown in Figure 8 we present the transmittance spectrum of TE mode at o 0 θ = . By increasing the operating temperature from T = 100K to 450 K, a noticeable change in the transmittance spectrum of the proposed structure was observed. The width of the PBG decreases with increasing the operating temperature and shifted to longer wavelength region which is similar to the ppublished results reported by Wu and Gao 35 . This result agrees with the electromagnetic variational theorem, low-frequency modes tend to concentrate . Transmittance spectra simulated on the quasi-periodic 1D PC structure with d2, d3, and T fixed at 0.1, 0.08 µm, and 100 K, respectively, while varying the number of Fibonacci sequence from 5 to 11.

Finally, we study the effect of hydrostatic pressure on Hg-1223 material in 1D quasi -periodic metamaterial superconductor photonic crystal. Figure 9 illustrates the transmittance spectra for different values of applied hydrostatic pressure at d2=0.1µm, d3=0.08µm, and T=400K. In Figure 9, we have noted that when the pressure increases the resonant transmitted peak shifted to longest wavelength, while a wide PBG appears for the longest wavelength. This phenomenon can be used to fabricate pressure sensors, polychromatic filters, which are tunable by pressure or an omnidirectional high reflector. The tuning effect happened when we increase the applied pressure to be 55GPa. Furthermore, the band gap width decreases and shifted to long wavelength region this result is matched to that reported by Herrera et al. 39 . Figure 9 different from Figure 7 that found in Herrera 39 at two points, the first one in our figure obtained the shift of band gap to short wave length region clearly and more than that shown in Herrera 39 . The second one obtained the band gap width increases with shift to short wave length region more than that shown in Herrera 39 . All these features meaning that our structure is more sensitive to pressure and pressure has a noticeable effect on the photonic band gap.

Conclusion
The transmittance properties of a Fibonacci quasi-periodic 1D metamaterial superconductor photonic crystal have been investigated theoretically based on Transfer matrix method. The transmittance spectra of periodic structure and quasi-periodic are studied and it is noticed that the band gap in quasi-structure became wider than which found in the periodic structure, and the oscillation amplitude did not present a steady or gradual change on the contrary to the periodic structure. The structure has a tunable photonic band gap which was tuned by the thicknesses of metamaterial, superconductor layers, the incident angle, operating temperature, and by the applied pressure. This structure can be used in a variety of applications such as sensors, pass-band filters, high reflection mirrors, and bolometers.
