Photonic band gap of multiferroic-dielectric materials in the IR region: FDTD method

Abstract

In this report, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic structures based on the multiferroic materials- BaMnF4. We calculate the photonic bands and optical properties of BaMnF4/LiNbO3 based photonic crystal. We study the photonic band gap and optical properties of the photonic structures, numerically analyzed in the IR frequency region by using the FDTD method for various incidence angles, number of periods in the PC and the nature/geometry of the materials.
