Tunability of One-Dimensional Plasma Photonic Crystals with an External Magnetic Field

We investigated in detail how photonic band structures (PBSs) of one dimensional plasma photonic crystals (PPCs) are tuned after being exposed to an external magnetic field. We showed that the properties of PBSs of PPCs are tuned correspondingly because the dielectric constant of the micro plasma la...

Summary:We investigated in detail how photonic band structures (PBSs) of one dimensional plasma photonic crystals (PPCs) are tuned after being exposed to an external magnetic field. We showed that the properties of PBSs of PPCs are tuned correspondingly because the dielectric constant of the micro plasma layer is modified differently in different frequency ranges due to magneto-optical effects. Two numerical cases are calculated and discussed to study the magneto-optical effects on the properties of PBSs, including the Faraday and Voigt effects.
