Tunable Properties of Optical Selective Filters Based on One-Dimensional Plasma Superconductor Photonic Crystal

In this paper, a new design and analysis of tunable optical selective filters containing one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D-PC), magnetized cold plasma, and superconducting materials are investigated using transfer matrix method. The effects of defective layers on transmission spectrum, the cutoff frequency, and the peak position are investigated as the function of the magnetic field and the thickness of the superconductor layer. It is found that the peak frequencies and the cutoff frequencies are affected significantly by the magnetic field applied and number of defectives layers. Also, it is demonstrated that the superconductor layer has a significant effect on the transmission spectrum. Results obtained confirmed that it is possible to make a model of a highly selective tunable filter using photonic one-dimensional plasma superconductor photonic crystal.
