Air impurity in holographic photonic crystals made with dichromated gelatin

The physical mechanism of the air impurity in volume holographic photonic crystals was investigated in this paper. The photonic forbidden band with the air impurity was analyzed and calculated by the transfer matrix method. Verifications were carried out using one dimensional holographic photonic crystals made with Dichromated Gelatin (DCG), and the impurity modes were observed.
