Analsys of the properties of tunable prohibited band gaps for two-dimensional unmagnetized plasma photonic crystals under TM mode

Abstract

The piecewise linear current density recursive convolution (PLCDRC) on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to study the properties of prohibited band gaps for TM wave propagation in the two-dimensional unmagnetized plasma photonic crystal. In frequency-domain, the transmission coefficient of electromagnetic differential Gaussian pulses are computed and we analyzed the effect on properties of tunable prohibited band gaps for the two-dimensional unmagnetized plasma photonic crystals by its relative permittivity of column, lattic constant, dielectric column radius, periodic constant and parameters of plasma. The results showed that the prohibited band gaps can not be broadened by inceasing periodic constant and plasma collision frequency, but can be broadened by increasing relative permittivity of column and plasma frequency. The prohibited gaps also can be widened by decreasing the lattic constant and dielectric column radius for fill rate of a certain value.
