可调谐石墨烯–hBN一维周期光子晶体的能带结构

Tunable Band Structure of 1D Periodic Graphene-hBN Photonic Crystals

  • 摘要: 基于传输矩阵法研究石墨烯–hBN一维周期光子晶体的能带结构。研究表明:区别于传统电介质光子晶体,横电/横磁(TE/TM)模的能带结构可被石墨烯费米能、hBN厚度,以及入射角强烈调制,且在hBN高剩余射线带(H–RB)均诱导了全向带隙;另外TM模在hBN低剩余射线带(L–RB)的上边界,出现反常能带结构,可通过石墨烯费米能和hBN厚度的双重调节实现禁允带切换,且带隙宽度随入射角增大而增大。可调的能带结构为可调谐光子晶体器件(如红外滤波器、光开关)的设计提供光传输特性的理论参考。

     

    Abstract: Using the transfer matrix method, we investigate the band structure of one-dimensional (1D) periodic graphene-hBN photonic crystal. The results reveal that, distinct from traditional dielectric photonic crystals, the band structures for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes can be strongly modulated by graphene Fermi energy, hBN thickness, and incident angles. Omnidirectional bandgaps are observed within the high Reststrahlen band (H–RB) of hBN. In addition, anomalous band structures emerge at the upper boundary of hBN’s low Reststrahlen band (L–RB) for TM modes, where switching between forbidden and allowed bands is achieved through dual adjustments of graphene Fermi energy and hBN thickness. Notably, the bandgap width expands significantly with increasing incident angles. These tunable band structures provide critical theoretical insights into light-manipulation mechanisms, paving the way for designing dynamically reconfigurable photonic devices, such as infrared filters and optical switches.
