Properties of thermal radiation power spectra in truncated one dimensional photonic crystals

Abstract

In this work, we have investigated the thermal radiation power spectra of 1D photonic crystal structure containing Si and SiO2 having an absorbing substrate with truncated thickness. The thermal radiation power spectra are determined by the means of a theoretical model based on a transfer matrix for both normal and oblique incidence together with Kirchhoff’s second law. It is observed that thermal radiation power spectra show strong dependence on truncation parameter and incident angle.
