Abstract

Binary semiconductor one-dimensional photonic crystals with periodically arranged embedded quantum wells demonstrate optical properties akin to those of resonant hyperbolic metamaterials. Such structures possess a hyperbolic dispersion of their optical eigenmodes in a specified spectral range. Strong spectral selectivity and tunability of transmittance of the embedded quantum wells allow manipulating by optical properties of the whole structure. We demonstrate by modelling the possibility of the control of the trajectory and the group velocity of the spatially localized optical pulse propagating in the proposed structure by an external bias through its effect upon the exciton radiative properties.
