Photonic band gap structures of obliquely incident electromagnetic wave propagation in a one-dimension absorptive plasma photonic crystal

The photonic band gap structures of obliquely incident electromagnetic waves propagating in a one-dimension plasma photonic crystal with collision have been studied on the basis of electromagnetic theory and transfer matrix approach. The dispersion relations for both the transverse electric wave case and the transverse magnetic wave case are deduced. And the photonic band gap structures, with their function dependence on the microplasma layer density, microplasma width, collision frequency, background material dielectric constant, and incident angle, are computed. The results show that there exist two photonic band gap structures in an adsorptive plasma photonic crystal: one is a normal photonic band gap structure and the other is an absorption photonic band gap structure. Parameter dependence of the effects is calculated and discussed.
