Abstract
The Symplectic Finite-Difference Time-Domain (SFDTD) method was applied to simulate the one-dimensional unmagnetized Plasma Photonic Crystal (PPC) with a sandwich structure. Compared with the traditional Finite-difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, the results from the SFDTD method are reliable and accurate. Also the SFDTD method has better numerical dispersion characteristics than the traditional FDTD method and the Multi-Resolution Time-Domain (MRTD) method too. Electromagnetic propagation process by differential Gaussian pulse is given in the PPC band gap with the SFDTD method used. The influence of the plasma frequency and the thickness ratio of plasma and medium to PPC on the band gap structure is analyzed. The plasma frequency most affects the PPC in low-frequency range. Also the propagation of an electromagnetic wave can be controlled by the thickness ratio of plasma and medium. The results above prove that the SFDTD method can give the right and better results on the research of PPC.
