Abstract

In the present work, we have investigated theoretically the optical properties of a new one-dimensional defected photonic crystal structure (1DDPC). The structure is composed of alternating layers of metamaterial (double-negative material) and high Tc superconductor material called Hg1223 defected with a dielectric material (SiO2) at the center of the structure. The transmittance spectra of the proposed structure are obtained by using the transfer matrix method (TMM). We noticed that multiple transmittance peaks within the photonic band gap (PBG) as the thickness of defect layer increases. The tunable filtering feature is obtained by varying the thicknesses of metamaterial and superconductor layer. In addition, the defect peak is red shifted as well as photonic band gap tuned to low-frequency region. Our structure is sensitive to the variation of the angle incidence. Also, defect mode shown to be blue shifted as the angle of incidence increases. The tunable filtering properties are very useful in the optoelectronic applications.
