Tunability and Fano Resonance Properties in Different Types of One-Dimensional Superconductor Photonic Crystals

Abstract

The Fano resonance and EIR properties in different topological one-dimensional superconductor photonic crystals has been investigated theoretically using the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). Different types of periodic heterostructures are studied and they are designed by alternating pairs of superconductor materials such (Nb/BSCCO), (Rb 3 C 60 / YBa 2 Cu3O 7 ) and (K 3 C 60 /(BiPb) 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O y ). All artificial periodic structures are sacked by dielectric cap layer at different induced fields. To exam the efficiency of the reported structures, different parameters are used for analysis such as layers thicknesses, temperature, angle of incidence, the kind of superconductor materials and the dielectric constant of the cap layer. The investigation results exhibit the presence of tunable Fano resonances and EIR resonance peak accompanied by asymmetrical line shape and they are very sensitive to the dielectric cap layer, the superconductor materials and the wave incidence angle.

Photonic Crystal Enhanced by Metamaterial for Measuring Electric Permittivity in GHz Range

“…By modifying the refractive index of the defect, the properties of the defect peak can be altered [16,17]; such tunability opens the door for many different sensors, extending from chemical compounds to different biological cells and tissues [18][19][20][21]. Many materials have been examined to enhance the PCs' photonic bandgap properties and sensing abilities, ranging from metals [22], dielectrics [23,24], semiconductors [17], superconductors [25], and plasma. Recently, metamaterials have been identified as a possible candidate to enhance the PCs' properties [26].…”
