摘要:
We propose a type of photonic quantum well made of two different photonic crystals with negative-and positive-index materials. It is demonstrated by transfer matrix method that, omnidirectional and multi-channel filtering can be achieved. Resonance tunneling modes, or the multi-channel filtering modes, are found to exist when a passband of the well photonic crystal is located inside the gap of the barrier photonic crystals. And for each passband of the well photonic crystal in the photonic bandgap of the barrier photonic crystal, the number of modes is the same as the number of periods in the well photonic crystals. Moreover, the modes are insensitive to the incident angle from 0 to 85 degrees and the scaling of the barrier photonic crystals at a certain range. Such structures are useful for all-direction receiving, sending, or linking-up of multi-channel signals in wireless-communication networks. And they can be applied in signal-detection systems to enhance signal-detection sensitivity. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
