In this article, the defect mode splits into two modes under the external magnetic fields and with the increase of the magnetic field strength the two peaks separate to both sides, which present an effective way to new type of tunable filters.
Abstract
Using the 4*4 transfer-matrix method go through the transmittance formula of one dimensional magnetic photonic crystal with and without external magnetic fields, respectively. Numerical simulation results show that defect-mode splitting critically depend on the magneto-optical gyrotropy factor and defect mode in right-hand and left-hand circularly polarized move toward lower and higher frequency in the present of a magnetic field, respectively. Our results prove out the fact that the defect mode splits into two modes under the external magnetic fields and with the increase of the magnetic field strength the two peaks separate to both sides. Considering the dispersion of the light, we get the same conclusion, which present an effective way to new type of tunable filters.

Microcavities in photonic crystals : mode symmetry, tunability, and coupling efficiency

TL;DR: The properties of resonant modes which arise from the introduction of local defects in two-dimensional ~2D! and 3D photonic crystals are investigated and it is shown that the properties of these modes can be controlled by simply changing the nature and size of the defects.

Temperature tuning of the stop band in transmission spectra of liquid-crystal infiltrated synthetic opal as tunable photonic crystal

TL;DR: In this article, the optical stop band in the transmission spectra of opals shifts drastically by the infiltration of liquid crystals and the stop band is also found to shift at the phase transition points with changing temperature.
