Photonic band-gap resonator for magnetic resonance applications

摘要

Aspects of photonic band gap resonators for magnetic resonance are described. In one example, an apparatus includes a 1D structure having a plurality of layers. A respective thickness of the individual layers is one-quarter of a respective wavelength of a target magnetic resonance frequency within the individual layers of the plurality of layers, or a multiple thereof. A first layer has a first dielectric constant, and a second layer that is adjacent to the first layer has a second dielectric constant. A defect includes a sample. The defect has a thickness that is approximately up to one-half of a wavelength of the target magnetic resonance frequency within the defect.
