Abstract

Photonic bandgaps (PBGs) in conventional one-dimensional (1-D) photonic crystals (PhCs) composed of isotropic dielectrics are polarization-insensitive since the optical length within a isotropic dielectric layer is polarization-independent. Herein, we realize polarization-sensitive PBGs in hybrid 1-D PhCs composed of all-dielectric elliptical metamaterials (EMMs) and isotropic dielectrics. Based on the Bragg scattering theory and iso-frequency curve analysis, an analytical model is established to characterize the angle dependence of PBGs under transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarizations. The polarization-dependent property of PBGs can be flexibly controlled by the filling ratio of one of the isotropic dielectrics within all-dielectric EMMs. Assisted by the polarization-sensitive PBGs, high-performance polarization selectivity can be achieved. Our work offers a loss-free platform to achieve polarization-sensitive physical phenomena and optical devices.
