Strongly Resonant Transmission of Electromagnetic Radiation in Periodic Anisotropic Layered Media

arXiv:0709.1250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.77.033811

Abstract

The electromagnetic dispersion in periodic layered media can be tailored and their resonant properties can be considerably improved by utilizing anisotropic materials. Periodic structures with a photonic band edge split into two parts, or so-called split band edge, exhibit superior resonant properties including exceptionally high Q-values of transmission resonances and nearly perfect impedance matching at the boundaries, even when the number of unit cells N is not large. A microwave transmission resonance with Q~220 is demonstrated in a periodic stack of form-birefringent layers with N=12 realized in a waveguide geometry.
