Transmittance properties of superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal

Abstract Using Transfer Matrix Method, we numerically study the transmission behavior of one dimensional superconductor photonic crystal. Superconductor photonic crystal is usually a composite material consisting of superconductor and dielectric material. In this study, we have discussed the photonic band gap of the superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal at different temperatures. The typical transmittance properties of the considered structure have been accessed through the transfer matrix method simulations. The transmission characteristics for superconductor photonic crystal have been examined with different various parametric effects including the thickness of the considered structures, frequency and different temperatures. Moreover, the variations of transmission spectra with respect to thickness and temperature have also been investigated. The findings of the present study support the superconductor photonics structures to possess the potential for tunable filter applications.
