Abstract

The present paper describes the study of defect modes in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1d-PC) containing a high and low temperature superconductor as a defect layer at different temperatures below the superconducting transition temperature (T c ). Since the refractive index of the superconducting material is dependent on the penetration depth, which depends on the temperature of the superconducting material, hence by changing the temperature of the superconducting material its refractive index can also be changed. Analysis of the transmission spectra of defect modes in the reflection band of 1d-PC structure shows a shift in the wavelength peak of the defect mode. The shift in peak is different for different superconducting materials and it increases with the increase in temperature whether the defect layer is high T c or low T c superconductors. We also study the presence two defect layers in a 1d-PC structure, one with high T c and other with a low T c superconductor. Further, the effect of variation in the thickness of the defect layer on the defect modes of the PC structure has also been studied In order to obtain the transmission (reflection) spectra of a 1d-PC structure with a defect, we employ the transfer matrix method (TMM). This property of the defective PC structure can be exploited in designing the temperature sensor and narrow optical filters. Further, this tunable feature of superconductor photonic crystal has technical use in the superconducting electronics and photonics.
