Photonic Hall effect

In this work, we report on the emergence of a photonic Hall effect (PHE) system within a narrow filtered background of a one-dimensional defective optical dielectric structure with graphene under the influence of a constant magnetic field regime. It is observed that at low temperature and relatively strong applied magnetic fields, electromagnetic defective transmission spectra corresponding to the two decoupled right- and left-handed polarized modes possess a step-like transmission feature which is referred to as “quantum Hall defect modes” (QHD modes or QHDs) in this paper. Tunable growing transitional transmission steps for QHDs with increasing magnetic field intensity were shown to be possible. Observation of sensitive magneto-transmission oscillations to the thermal excitations in the last plateaus slowly ascending toward unity is another special feature noted in this work. The results of this study, which is carried out based on rapid standard calculations for the transfer matrix approach is supplied with commercial simulations marking the first PHE system, promise an proper candidate for new photonic applications, especially new tunable magneto-based lenses and photonic magneto-thermal sensors.
