Abstract
In this paper, the transmittance characteristics of a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing an epsilon–near-zero magneto-optical defect layer have been investigated, through varying the permittivity tensor diagonal element of defect layer. For calculations the 4×4 transfer matrix method has been utilized. Investigation on the obtained results reveal that such a structure is absolutely opaque for one of the circular polarizations, whereas for the other polarization has the complete transmittance coefficient (T=1), but for specific thicknesses of the defect layer. Moreover, the Faraday rotation of the structure has been studied. Furthermore, the behavior of the circular polarization transmittance coefficients for different layer numbers of the structure have been calculated and compared with each other.
