Calculation of photonic band-gap of one dimensional photonic crystal

open access: yes, 2009
Photonic crystal is a composite dielectric with periodic modulation of refractive index that brings about unique photonic band-gap effect by which light could be totally reflected on the surface of such material regardless of any incident angle or mode ...
