Abstract In this paper, the characteristics of the omnidirectional band gap (OBG) for one-dimensional (1D) plasma cylindrical photonic crystals (PCPCs) are based on an improved Fibonacci topological (IFT) structure are studied. The influences of the azimuthal mode number, incident angle, plasma thickness, and plasma frequency on the OBG are discussed. It is concluded that increasing the azimuth modulus can significantly expand the bandwidth of the OBG, and the OBG can be moved to the low-frequency direction by increasing the plasma frequency. In addition, an interesting phenomenon can be found that when the number of azimuthal modes is equal to 2, the TM wave can produce an extra high reflection zone. It provides a theoretical support for designing the narrowband filters without introducing any physical defect layers in the structure.

The propagation of elastic longitudinal waves in one-dimensional (1D) phononic crystals (PNCs) consisting of alternating solid and fluid media is comprehensively analyzed in theory. We demonstrate the acoustic band gap (ABG) structure determined by the dispersion relation for longitudinal waves at normal incidence. According to the band structure, we design a sub-PNC by setting a reasonable thickness ratio of fluid and solid media, and then form a phononic heterostructure by merging this PNC and other PNC designed in advance. We have shown that the wide band gap exists in such a phononic heterostructure for elastic longitudinal waves at normal incidence. For oblique incidence, the wide band gap shifts towards high frequency regions, meanwhile a low-frequency band gap is split.

The photonic crystal has the property that electromagnetic waves with interval of frequency in photonic band gap (PBG) can not be propagated, so it has important applying and researching value. The traditional one-dimensional photonic crystal is with narrow band gap width, and the reflection within the band is small, especially the band gap is sensitive to the incident angle and the polarization of light. A new photonic band gap (PBG) structure, metallodielectric photonic crystal by inserting metal film in the medium can overcomes the shortcomings mentioned above. The one-dimensional Ag/SiOx photonic crystal was prepared, and theoretical and experimental researches were developed. The results show that photonic band gap appears gradually and the band gap width increase with increasing of period of repeating thickness. With the thickness of Ag film increasing, the band gap width increases, but the starting wavelength of the photonic band gap keeps unchanged. With thickness of SiOx film increasing, the band gap width of photonic band gap also increases, but it is not obvious and starting wavelength increases.

Using the transfer matrix method, absorbing properties of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals are proposed. Compared with the absorption of bulk plasma, more absorbing bands have been found in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals, and the first absorbing band appears below the plasma frequency. These absorbing bands can be controlled by varying structure parameters, plasma parameters and the incident angle. Results show that the periodic number and collision frequency only control the absorbing magnitude. Plasma frequency, plasma thickness and incident angle affect both the absorbing magnitude and locations. Increasing the dielectric constant of the dielectric makes more absorbing bands appear. These features of one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals would have potential applications in tunable millimetre absorbers.

Characteristic matrix method was used to calculate the transmittance spectra of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs). By theoretical calculations, the transmittance spectra of time-harmonic electromagnetic wave in the 1-D PCs with various incident angles were derived. From the transmittance spectra, it shown that along with the incident angle increased from 0o to 85o, the frequency range of stop band gap also increased from 0.085 to 0.119 for the certain periodicity N=16 of the 1-D PCs. In addition, for a certain incident angle (in this letter, the incident angle 30o was used), the transmittance spectra for different periodicity (N=2, 4, 8 and 16 respectively) were also calculated, it demonstrated that different incident angles could influence the stop band gap range markedly, but on the transmittance was minimal.

In this paper, the effect of the magnetic field on one-dimensional plasma photonic crystal band gaps is studied. The one-dimensional fourfold plasma photonic crystal is applied that contains four periodic layers of different materials, namely plasma1–MgF2–plasma2–glass in one unit cell. Based on the principle of Kronig–Penney's model, dispersion relation for such a structure is obtained. The equations for effective dielectric functions of these two modes are theoretically deduced, and dispersion relations for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves are calculated. At first, the main band gap width increases by applying the exterior magnetic field. Subsequently, the frequency region of this main band gap transfers completely toward higher frequencies. There is a particular upper limit for the magnitude of the magnetic field above which increasing the exterior magnetic field strength doesn't have any significant influence on the dispersion function behavior. (With an increase in incident angle up to θ1= 66°, the width of photonic band gap (PBG) changes for both TM/TE polarization.) With an increase in incident angle up to θ1= 66°, the width of PBG decreases for TM polarization and the width of PBG increases for TE polarization, but it increases with further increasing of the incident angle from θ1= 66° to 89° for both TE- and TM-polarizations. Also, it has been observed that the width of the photonic band gaps changes rapidly by relative difference of the two-plasma frequency. Results show the existence of several photonic band gaps that their frequency and dispersion magnitude can be controlled by the exterior magnetic field, incident angle, and two plasma frequencies. The result of this research would provide theoretical instructions for designing filters, microcavities, fibers, etc.
