Thermal Expansion of Photonic Band Gap for One Dimensional Photonic Crystal

Abstract: Abstract-The effect of temperature on the photonic band gap has been investigated. One dimensional photonic crystal in the form of Si/air multilayer system has been studied in this communication. The refractive index of silicon layers is taken as a function of temperature and wavelength both. Therefore, this study may be considered to be physically more realistic. It may be useful for computing the optical properties for wider range of wavelength as well as temperature. We can use the proposed structure as tem… Show more

“…The shifting behavior for all cases can be explained by using the phase equation (4) [29]. According to this phase equation, as ( , ) increases with temperature, the wavelength must increase accordingly to keep the phase unchanged.…”

“…These structures are constructed by using two or more media repeated alternatively. The width of the band gap varies with the variation of refractive indices of materials, temperature, and the incident angle [3,4]. If these parameters are maintained fixed, then this photonic structure will have fixed predetermined bands of wavelength or frequencies.…”
