Abstract
In this work, we theoretically investigate the transmission properties of one-dimensional (1D) Fibonacci photonic quasicrystal (PQC) by using the transfer matrix modeling (TMM) method. The PQC structure is composed of alternated layers of isotropic dielectric (SiO2) and a high-Tc superconductor (YBCO). Frequency-dependent dispersion formula according to the two-fluid Gorter–Casimir theory has been adopted to describe the optical response of the superconducting material. Within the framework of the TMM method, we studied the effect of many parameters such as the thicknesses of the dielectric and superconductor layers, Fibonacci lattice parameters, and the operating temperature on the transmission behaviors of the PQC structure. Our numerical results reveal the transmission cutoff frequency can be tuned efficiently by the operating temperature as well as by the thicknesses of the constituent materials. We found that increasing the temperature and the angle of incidence, maintaining materials thicknesses constant, there is a shift of the cutoff frequency to lower frequency values. Nevertheless, this cutoff frequency is shifted to higher values with increasing the superconductor layer thickness. Moreover, we found that the width and the number of the photonic bandgaps can be controlled by order of Fibonacci sequence. Our results are promising for the design of tunable filtering devices.
