Surface and bulk modes of magnetophotonic crystals

Analytical dispersion equation for magnetophotonic one-dimensional crystal is obtained in this work. Analysis of the dispersion characteristics and numerical calculations for different values of the gyrotropic layer effective permittivity is carried out. Dispersion properties of the structure for TE and TM modes are analyzed for different configurations of magnetophotonic crystals (ferrite and plasma-like layers). Existence areas for surface and bulk waves and their combinations are obtained. The transmission and forbidden bands at the dispersion diagram in the region of surface plasma waves are found.
