Abstract
In this study an omnidirectional photonic band gap OPBG in onedimensional 1D plasma photonic crystals plasmaPCs with Pell quasiperiodic structures which are consisting of plasma and two isotropic dielectrics is theoretically calculated by the transfer matrix method Compared to the Bragg gaps the OPBG is not dependent on the angle of incidence and both transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes The bandwidth and frequency region of the OPBG is not sensitive to Pell sequence order but the bandwidth of the OPBG can be significantly enhanced as the density and length of plasma layer are increased The calculated results demonstrate that the 1D plasmaPCs with Pell quasiperiodic not only can obtain a larger bandwidth of OPBG but also have a shorter length in realizing devices compared to the 1D ThueMorse ThM aperiodic or Fibonacci ones It is clear that such 1D plasmaPCs with Pell quasiperiodic have advantages in realizing compact devicesProject supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Grant No 61307052 Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China BK20150757 Open Research Program in China’s State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves Grant No K201609 and Jiangsu Planned Projects for Postdoctoral Research Funds Grant No 1501016A in part by Project Funded by China Postdoctoral Science Foundation Grant No 2015M581790
