Optical properties of one-dimensional defective photonic crystal containing nanocomposite material

Abstract

We have obtained the optical properties of one-dimensional defective photonic crystals containing nanocomposite materials of Ag as a defect layer in UV region; the permittivity of nanocomposite materials depends on plasmon frequency of metal nanoparticles. Our analysis is based on the fundamentals of the transfer matrix method. We have investigated the effect of many parameters such as metal thickness, volume fraction, and defected dielectric materials on the intensity of a defect layer.
