Abstract

In this study, we describe the doping effect of nano-sized bimetallic core-shell structures on the optical responses of one-dimensional ternary photonic crystals (1DTPC). The varying radius of the metallic core and metallic shell tune the localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) and the near field coupling with an incident wave, which tailors the dielectric responses of nanocomposite (NC) and optical properties of 1DTPC. Also, the tunable reflectance and absorption are studied with the distinct filling fraction signifying the high number of nanoparticles leads to an enhanced electromagnetic field near nanoparticles and near field coupling. The design of the NC is based on Maxwell-Garnett model with core shell of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) incorporated in the Si host. The near-field coupling and tunability of LSPRs exhibits tunable resonant reflectance dips, PBG edge deformations, and the optical properties are discussed with the transfer matrix method (TMM). The optical response, reflectance/absorptions of 1DTPC configuration as (MgF2|NC|SiO2)20 vary with the filling fractions of Ag@Au and angle of incident waves. The studied 1DTPC can be used to design numerous optical devices such as sensors, optical filters, solar cells, optical imaging and absorption-based instruments as well as biomedical applications.
