Abstract:
In this paper we discuss the electric field distribution, localization and enhancement through one-dimensional photonic crystal sandwiched between two Bragg mirrors (BM). The electric field intensity is determined using a theoretical model based on Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). While changing the different parameters of each structure constitutes this hybrid photonic system (materials indices, geometric thicknesses, and layers number), the electric field localization is enhanced. The waves studied are at visible frequencies band and for Transverse-Electric (TE) polarization.
