Reflection from 1D quasi-periodical structures

A theoretical investigation of 1D stationary and transient quasi-periodical dielectric structures is presented. A new approach for solving the problem of field interaction with such structures common for both stationary and transient cases, based on integral equations for the fields in transient media, is proposed. Some special cases of quasi-periodical structures with doubled quasi-periodicity are investigated numerically, showing that an additional complexity of the structure allows to obtain good filtering properties with a small number of quasi-periods. Transient structures with the same spatial dependencies, but with a time-dependent permittivity were also investigated.     

Design and optimisation of multimode 1D photonic band gap waveguide

The modal characteristics of planar waveguides with photonic band gap guiding properties are studied. It is demonstrated that a slight deviation from the periodicity in the photonic band gap multilayers can result in multimode transmission within the guiding layer. Possible applications of the results for avoiding single mode regime destruction due to fabrication process imperfection, as well as for designing such waveguides for conventional and emerging new applications of multimode photonic devices, are pointed out.
