Transmission investigation of one-dimensional Fibonacci-based quasi-periodic photonic crystals including nanocomposite material and plasma

摘要

In this communication, the transmittance characteristics of one dimensional quasi-periodic photonic crystals (PCs) is investigated. The proposed structure consists basically of plasma and nanocomposite layers arranged in accordance to the Fibonacci sequence. The effect of volume density of the plasma and the volume fraction of the nanocomposite material on the properties of the photonic band gaps are studied in detail. The effect of layers thicknesses and the sequence number are also taken into account. We believe that such structures can be potentially beneficial in many novel future applications such as multichannel and pass band filters and optical switches. Additionally, such PCs can be used to design tunable optical devises through controlling the plasma and nanoparticle densities.
