E-Wave Interaction with the One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal with Weak Conductive and Transparent Materials

Abstract

The interaction of electromagnetic E-waves with one-dimensional photonic crystals consisting of weak conductive and transparent layers is studied theoretically. If the thicknesses of both the conductive and transparent layers are of the order of skin depth, then the domains of transmission and reflection appear. However, if the thickness of the conductive layers is much less than the skin depth but much more than the Debye screening radius, the resonant behavior of the optical power coefficients appears at a frequency close to the plasma frequency.
