Abstract:
By using the modified finitedifference timedomain (FDTD) method for the electromagnetic scattering of the magnetized plasma, the band gap properties of the onedimensional spacevarying magnetized and unmagnetized plasma photonic crystals (PPC) are studied. With the differential Gaussian pulse for the incidence source, the reflection coefficients of the PPC are computed with the normal incidence condition, and its plasma frequency varies with the space as the variation of the periodic Gauss pulse function.The characteristics for the forbidden band gap of the PPC are analyzed under the condition of the different space pulsewidth. The results show that the band gap can be achieved on control by changing the plasma frequency in different space changes.
