Analysis of Position-Dependent Extraordinary Optical Properties in Near-Zero-Permittivity Range for a One-Dimensional Superconducting Photonic Crystal

Abstract:

The position-dependent extraordinary optical properties in near-zero-permittivity range for a one-dimensional superconducting photonic crystal consisting of alternating superconductor and dielectric layers are theoretically investigated by using the transfer matrix method. Based on the calculated reflectance spectrum, it is shown the extraordinary optical propriety depends on the relative position between the threshold wavelength and the photonic band gap. By suitably choosing the thickness of the superconducting or dielectric layer, one can design a transmission narrowband filter or resonator to satisfy their needs without introducing any physical defect in a superconducting photonic crystal.
