A combination of angle insensitive stopband/passband filters based on one-dimensional hyperbolic metamaterial quasiperiodic photonic crystals.

Abstract

In the present work, we demonstrate the transmittance properties of one dimensional (1D) quasi-periodic photonic crystals that contain a superconductor material and a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM). A HMM layer is engineered by the subwavelength undoped and doped Indium Arsenide (InAs) multilayers. Many resonance peaks with angle stability are obtained from the proposed Fibonacci sequence structure using the transfer matrix method (TMM). In this case, the Fibonacci sequence serves as the mainstay in the design of our structure. The permittivity of the utilized superconductor and the HMM are also analyzed, respectively. The numerical findings showed that the incident angle has no effect on the wavelength positions of the resonance peaks. The effects of many parameters such as the superconductor material thickness, Fibonacci sequence number, and sequence type are discussed for the proposed structure. At various operating temperatures and superconductor material types, the transmittance characteristics of the proposed structure were also examined. The designed structure can serve as a combination of pass/stop band filters for near-infrared (NIR) applications.
