Band gap and optical transmission in the Fibonacci type one-dimensional A5B6C7 based photonic crystals

摘要

In this work, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic crystal structures (PCs) based on one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal. Here we use 1D A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based layers in air background. We have theoretically calculated photonic band structure and optical properties of A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based PCs. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) technique and the plane wave expansion method (PWE) which implies the solution of Maxwell equations with centered finite-difference expressions for the space and time derivatives. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
