Band gaps and nonlinear defect modes in one-dimensional photonic crystals with anisotropic single-negative metamaterials
Abstract
We propose a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) with multilayered periodic structures containing dispersive anisotropic single-negative (ASNG) (permittivity- or permeability-negative) metamaterials. The influences of the ratio of dA/ dB and their scale on ASNG gaps are discussed. Moreover, the effect of a nonlinear defect layer introduced into the proposed structure is also analyzed, and the results show that the defect mode has two peaks of electrical fields in the defect layer and its bistability property is also different from a defect mode in PCs with isotropic SNG gaps.
