Abstract

Some randomness could likely occur in one way or another in the fabrication of photonic crystals. It is essential to understand how such randomness would affect the performance of the produced photonic crystals. In this paper, the band structures of multilayer films with different levels of randomness were analyzed by plane wave expansion (PWE) with supercell. The results clearly show how the lowest band gap decreased with the increased randomness. Meanwhile, a number of slim band gaps could appear in the perturbed multilayer films.
