One-dimensional photonic crystals

Recently Hopman and al.15 applied a quasi one-dimensional photonic crystal (length 76 pm) for optical sensing. They measured the transmission spectrum as a function of the cladding refractive index. The cladding was varied using a liquid flow, of which the index was slowly varied over a small range (Figure 9).

Artificial photonic crystals are structures built so that they contain diffracting centres separated by distances that are of the order of the wavelength of light. The interaction with light can be understood in terms of the Bragg equation. However, the terminology employed to describe diffraction in artificial photonic crystals is that of semiconductor physics. The transition from a diffraction description to a physical description can be illustrated with respect to a one-dimensional photonic crystal.
