Omni directional reflectance properties of superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal

The omnidirectional reflection properties in one dimensional superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal have been studied theoretically. In this present communication, the superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal in one dimension having alternate regions of superconductor-dielectric. The reflectance behaviors from these periodic multilayered structures are calculated for different angles of incidence. The reflectance and band structure is obtained by solving a Maxwell's equation using a translational matrix method. The study of reflectance bands of such superconductor-dielectric photonic crystal show that it can be used as broad band reflector.
