Abstract

We have studied the optical properties of a ternary photonic crystal containing graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterials using the transfer matrix method and the effective medium theory in the terahertz frequency region. The effects of the optical axis orientation of the hyperbolic metamaterial layers, the surface conductivity of graphene, and the thickness of the photonic crystal layers are discussed. Our findings reveal that for transverse electric polarization, the optical axis orientation of the hyperbolic metamaterial layers has no effect on the optical properties of the structure. Moreover, it is found that increasing the thickness of the first and third dielectric layers in both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations reduces the transmission bandwidth of the structure.
