Band Gap Simulations of 1-Dimensional Photonic Crystal

one dimensional photonic crystal is the simplest possible type of the photonic crystals. The investigation of photonic structures by mathematical and a simulation method is highly important. At optical frequencies the optical density inside a photonic crystal varies periodically, they have the property to strongly affect the propagation of light waves at these optical frequencies. In the present work, band gap has been computed for a 1D photonic crystal. Both Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) and Finite-Difference-time-Domain (FDTD) methods are widely used for band gap computation of photonic crystals. Due to its advantage over PWE method, we have used FDTD method for computation of band gap for 1D photonic crystal.
