Abstract

In this paper, the properties of a reconfigurable device which realizes the omnidirectional band gaps (OBGs), nonreciprocity (NR) and polarization beam splitting (PBS) based on the one-dimensional (1-D) magnetized plasma photonic crystals (MPPCs) nested with quasi-periodic Pell and Thue–Morse sequences are theoretically investigated by the transfer matrix method (TMM). The obtained results show that the OBGs, the NR region, and the scope of PBS can be notably manipulated by the plasma frequency, plasma cyclotron frequency, incident angle, and the plasma collision frequency. More specifically, the higher plasma frequency is needed for accomplishing the property of OBGs while the better performance of NR can be achieved with a larger incident angle and a higher plasma cyclotron frequency. Also, the lower plasma frequency and higher plasma cyclotron frequency are suitable for the splendid performance of PBS. The augment of the plasma collision frequency is adverse to the properties as mentioned above. Due to the Voigt magneto-optical effect generating from the magnetized plasma layers, the time-reversal symmetry is destroyed which is beneficial for obtaining the properties of NR and PBS. Besides, owing to the nested technology which breaks the spatial symmetry of the structure further, compared with the conventional 1-D single quasi-periodic structures, the proposed nested MPPCs have a preeminent strength in achieving the three functions through modulating the corresponding physical parameters. These findings provide theoretical guidance for the design and application of the multifunctional devices.
