    Band gap and optical transmission in the Fibonacci type one-dimensional A5B6C7 based photonic crystals
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015) Simsek S.; Koc, H.; Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
    In this work, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic crystal structures (PCs) based on one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal. Here we use 1D A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based layers in air background. We have theoretically calculated photonic band structure and optical properties of A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based PCs. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) technique and the plane wave expansion method (PWE) which implies the solution of Maxwell equations with centered finite-difference expressions for the space and time derivatives. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    One and two dimensional LiNbO3 photonic crystals
    (IEEE, 2013) Şimşek, Şevket; Mamedov, Amirullah M.; Özbay, Ekmel
    In this report, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic crystal structures (PCs) based on one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric LiNbO3 crystal. Here we use 1D and 2D periodic crystal structure of dielectric rods and layers in air background. We have theoretically calculated photonic band structure and optical properties of 1D and 2D LiNbO3 PCs. Beside, we have calculated affect PBG properties of different parameters such as filling fraction and the shape. In order to get photonic gap map, we have calculated the gaps as a function of radius of the rods. We have also investigated the nature of guided modes in line defect waveguide. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) technique which implies the solution of Maxwell equations with centered finite-difference expressions for the space and time derivatives. © 2013 IEEE.

    Two-dimensional ferroelectric photonic crystals: Optics and band structure
    (Taylor & Francis Inc., 2013-09-20) Simsek S.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
    In this report we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic structures based on the functional materials- ferroelectrics. A theoretical approach to the optical properties of the 2D and 3D photonic crystals which yields further insight in the phenomenon of the reflection from different families of lattice planes in relation to the presence of photonic gaps or photonic bands. We calculate the photonic bands and optical properties of LiNbO3 based photonic crystals. Calculations of reflection and transmission spectra show the features correspond to the onset of diffraction, as well as to additional reflectance structures at large values of the angle of incidence. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
