Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the tunability of two-dimensional metallic photonic crystals by an external magnetic field. Our theoretical analysis is based on the frequency-dependent plane wave expansion method. The numerical results show that the external magnetic field has a pronounced effect on the permittivity of the metals. Therefore, the photonic band structures can be strongly tuned and controlled by adjusting the external magnetic field. Our structure is a good candidate for many applications such as filters, optical switches and modulators.
