Abstract

Using the transfer matrix method, the electromagnetic responses of 1D deformed and non-deformed quasi-periodic photonic crystals arranged in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence are theoretically studied. The gallium selenide (GeSe) and plasma materials (that is, electron density) are used to construct the multilayer Fibonacci structures. If this study is experimentally validated in the future, we intend to insert two transparent polymer film materials at the top and bottom of the structure, which are intended to protect the plasma material and prevent it from escaping and spreading outside the structure. The effect of the order of the Fibonacci sequence, the deformation of the thickness of the layers using a mathematical rule and the role of the plasma material in the reflectance response are discussed. We notice that the position and the width of photonic band gaps are sensitive to the Fibonacci sequence, the thickness and the density of the plasma material layers. In addition, the intensity of the resonance peaks can be controlled by adjusting the plasma material properties. The width of the photonic band gaps can be notably enlarged by applying a structural deformation along the stacks. The proposed structures have potential applications in tunable filters, micro-cavities for LASER equipment, which allow us to obtain an intense laser, and they are very useful in the communication field.
