Abstract
The density of Bloch electromagnetic states inside a one dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) is formulated based on its dispersion relations. The formulation applied to any anisotropic medium with known dispersion relations and iso-frequency surfaces. Using a practical 1D PC parameters in the visible range, the density of Bloch states for different modes are calculated.
