Abstract

In this paper, we present the theoretical investigation and study of reflectance properties in a 1D ternary annular photonic crystal (TAPC) containing a semiconductor and a high-temperature superconductor. The proposed structure consists of alternate layers of indium nitride (InN), Bi2Sr2CaCu3O8 (BSCCO), and air placed in free space. A reflectance spectrum of the TAPC is obtained by employing the transfer matrix method (TMM) in the cylindrical waves for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarized waves. From the study of reflectance spectra, it is observed that the reflection band of the annular photonic crystal depends on the azimuthal mode number m in addition to other parameters. It is found that for azimuthal mode number m = 0, the width of the reflection band of the annular photonic crystal is the same as that of a planar photonic crystal (PPC). When the azimuthal mode number increases, the width of the reflection band increases at higher m values (m >5) for TE waves. In the case of the TM wave, it is interesting to observe that a superpolariton gap is created for a higher value of the azimuthal number (m >0). Further, we see the effect of the starting radius (ρ 0) on the reflection band of the TAPC structure at the given m number for both TE- and TM-polarized waves. Finally, the effect of temperature on the reflectance spectra for both TE and TM waves at the given ρ 0 and azimuthal mode has been studied.
