Abstract

In this article, the reflection properties in one-dimensional dielectric-dielectric photonic crystals have been studied. We have used SiO2 as material of low refractive index and Si/Te as a high refractive index material. Two Structures SiO2/Si and SiO2/Te have been studied. The effect of refractive index contrast on omni-directional reflection is investigated. Reflectivity of proposed structures is plotted as a function of frequency and omni-directional PBGs are computed theoretically. To obtain reflectance, we used transfer matrix method for solving Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic wave in proposed structures..

Keywords
