slugComprehensive Review on Band Structure, Density of States and Wave Propagation inside One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper, a comprehensive review work is carried out on the computation of band structure and density of states of one - dimension photonic crystal, and propagation of normal and polarized electromagnetic wave inside the structure. Different numerical approaches are made by eminent researchers to compute the first Brillouin zone for understanding the band diagram, and corresponding density of states. Plane wave expansion method is explained in detail, as it yields the most accurate result comparing all the numerical techniques. A brief mathematical model is also presented to study the wave propagation, and a few applications are mentioned where the essential characteristics can be obtained fr om the calculation of these fundamental properties. This paper aims to capture the important and significant developments which took place in the field of photonics for the last two decades and present a n overall technical review on that matter.
