Abstract

In present paper the reflectivity of binary and ternary one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals for obliquely incident electromagnetic waves are studied. The reflectivity is derived using transfer matrix method and solving Maxwell’s equations by employing the continuity conditions on the electric fields and its derivatives. Our analysis shows that the perfect reflection bands get enhanced in the ternary 1D-PPCs compared to the binary 1D-PPCs. Also the ternary 1D-PPCs provide an additional degree of freedom to control the perfect reflection bands.
