Dielectric photonic crystals with superconducting defects

Abstract

One-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals with two complex defect layers, consisting of ultrathin superconducting and dielectric sublayers, are theoretically studied. The influence of the positions and structure of the defects (right or left position of the superconducting sublayer with respect to the dielectric sublayer) inside the photonic crystal on the photonic band gap spectra was theoretically investigated at normal incidence of light.
