手征介质构成的面心立方光子晶体光子带结构计算

提出通过磁场分量计算手征介质组成的光子晶体光子带结构的平面波法．计算表明：手征介质“球形原子”在介电体中排列所组成的面心立方光子晶体和介电体“球形原子”在手征介质中排列所组成的面心立方光子晶体的光子带结构，均存在截止频率，在该频率以下无传播模存在．并与由电场分量计算的结果作了比较，讨论了出现差异的原因 关键词：

PHOTONIC BAND STRUCTURE OF FACE CENTERED CUBIC LATTICE IN CHIRAL MEDIUM

In this paper we develop the plane wave method for calculating photonic band structure in chiral medium through magnetic component, and on this basis, calculate the photonic band structure of the face centered cubic (fcc) lattice made of chiral medium. Result shows that the cut off frequency, below which no propagating modes exist, appears in the two kinds of fcc lattices, i.e.,the array of chiral “spherical atoms” in dielectric material and the array of dielectric “spherical atoms” in chiral matrix. The result is compared with that obtained through electric component, and the difference between them is discussed.
