Abstract

The photonic bandgaps (PBGs) of a 1D photonic crystal can be tailored in a variety of ways, depending on the types of mechanism incorporated in the design of that photonic crystal. These mechanisms can be structural, that is, frozen into the photonic crystal during fabrication, or dynamic, that is, they can be varied post-fabrication by manipulating, say, a low-frequency magnetic field. Interleaving magnetophotonic garnet layers with layers of a structurally chiral material (SCM) leads to a 1D helicoidal magnetophotonic crystal (HMPC), the interaction of whose overall period and the helicoidal period of the SCM layers leads to intra-Brillouin-zone PBGs which depend on the structural handedness of the SCM layers and whose gapwidths are tunable in a multifaceted fashion. Even as the overall period grows very large, one PBG remains unaffected as it is due to the helicoidal period. The gapwidths can be magnetically tuned by an externally impressed dc magnetic field.
