Omnidirectional band gaps in quasiperiodic photonic crystals in the THz region
(Elsevier, 2012) Araújo, C.A.A.; Vasconcelos, Manoel Silva de; Mauriz, Paulo Wilson; Albuquerque, Eudenilson Lins de
In this work we calculate the emittance spectra of the electromagnetic radiation normally and obliquely incident (s- and p-polarized modes) on a one-dimensional multilayer quasiperiodic photonic structure made up by layered system of positive (SiO2) and negative (LiTaO3) refractive index materials organized in a quasiperiodic (Fibonacci-like) fashion. We model the negative refractive index material by an effective medium, whose electric permittivity ϵ(ω) is characterized by a phonon-polariton frequency dependent dielectric function, while for the magnetic permeability μ(ω) we have a Drude-like frequency-dependent function. The emittance spectra are determined by means of a well known theoretical model based on Kirchoff’s second law, together with a transfer matrix formalism. Our results shows that the omnidirectional band gaps appear in the THz regime, in well defined frequency intervals independently of the electromagnetic radiation’s polarized modes
