3. INTRODUCTION
 Photonic band-gap (PBGs) materials are artificially created dielectric materials which prevents propagation of
electromagnetic waves that propagates through them. if they fall within the bandgap of
 that material,
 Photonic band gap: Range of forbidden frequencies within which a specific wavelength is blocked light is reflected
rather than transmitted.
 If a defect is created in these crystals will guide electromagnetic waves of certain frequency if it falls within the
band gap.
 The trend of miniaturizing the optical integrated devices has been boosted by the concept of photonic band
gap (PBG) material discovered by Yabolonvitch in 1989.
 Other band gap materials are sonic crystals which controls acoustic waves
 Metallo –Dielectric structures for absorption of electromagnetic waves

Sonic crystal have a band gap for certain acoustic waves This
property is used in many applications such as sound barrier,
frequency filter, acoustic imaging etc.

TOP LAYER
 In these bi-layer screens, the top (front) screen is
made of metallic hole-array and the bottom (back)
screen is made of metallic disk-array.
 The gap between them is filled with an array of
dielectric spheres. The spheres are embedded in a
dielectric host material.
 It is made of either a heat-insulating (air, polyimide)
or heat-conducting (MgO) layer.
 Electromagnetici ntensity trapping of 97% is
obtained when a 0.15 micron gap is filled with MgO
and Si spheres,
 Applications:anti-fogging surfaces, electromagnetic
shields, and energy harvesting structure

Creating a point defect: Increase/decrease the size of the air
holes ( PC with air holes)
Creating line defect:Removal of all the holes in a line(PC with air
holes)
Creating a point defect : enlarging the size of the rod/reducing the
size(PC with rods in dielectric background)
Line defect: Removal of row of rods (PC with rods in air)

15. BLOCH THEOREM(SIMPLIFIED)
 When the electromagnetic wave propagates in a periodic structure is considered we use Bloch theorem
 Essentially it is a translation operator that commutes with Hamiltonian
 Hamiltonian of a system is an operator corresponding to the total energy of that system, including both
kinetic energy and ...
 Hamiltonian operator extracts the eigen value of the energy as a function of crystal momentum.

16. PBG MATERIAL FOR
EMI MITIGATION
Photonic Bandgap (PBG) shielding technology is a new
approach to designing electromagnetic shielding
materials for mitigating Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) with small, light-weight shielding materials.
Surface currents over some frequency ranges behave as
if on a standard conductive metallic ground plane,
providing no attenuation to microstrip or co-planar
waveguide transmission lines.
If the interfering frequency falls within the bandgap of
the PBG ground it is blocked or scattered or attenuated.
NASA used this PBG shielding for constellation for to and
fro Mars travel by human visitors.
Polyimides and metalic conducting polymers and PCs
are used.

17. PBG STRUCTURE ON
SURFACE OF A MISSILE
AND SPACECRAFT
 Patch antenna are often designed on the
missile and space craft.
 They couple power of the order of 3dB to
the metallic skin next to the patch
antenna.
 Using a ring of PBG material around the
patch antenna will reduce the power loss.

18. APPLICATION OF
PHOTONIC CRYSTALS
IN SUB-TERAHERTZ-
WAVE SWITCH
 The subterahertz and terahertz frequency ranges are promising for the
creation of high-speed wireless communication systems because of
the possibility to achieve a bandwidth of about several dozen
gigahertz, which ensures a high channel capacity.
 2D dielectric silicon PC with diameter of the holes 0.4a and Refractive
index is 3.4

19. PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBER
 Photonic crystal fiber is a
microstructure fiber endlessly single
mode.It can guide light by two
methods 1) total internal reflection
like the conventional fiber.
 It can also guide light using a hollow
core structure. These type of fiber
guide light by PBG effect and are
known as hollow core fibers
 They have extensive applications in
Telecommunication engineering,
electronics,mechanical,biomedical
and civil engineering.
 These fibers are also known as band
gap material

20. PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBER ( MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR)
 A sandwich structure in dual core PCF is created for the detection of magnetic field.
 This acts as a magnetic sensor although PCF is a dielectric and made up of silica
 Broadband light is propagated through the two cores adject to each other.
 Void space between the two adjacent cores are filled with magnetic fluid
 Even and odd super modes with different propagation constant are formed which results in the super mode
interference
 Depending upon the magnetic field the effective RI of the magnetic fluid varies.
 MF under different magnetic field, and the magnetic field is measured by interrogating the wavelength shift of the
transmission spectrum.
