▎ 摘  要

Photonic crystals containing graphene nanolayers have been attracting increasing attention due to their distinctive properties. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis on the transmission properties of magneto-photonic crystals containing graphene nanolayers by using the transfer matrix method. The investigation shows that unidirectional defect modes with high transmittance can be achieved in the proposed structure, and broad flat-top photonic conduction bands (PCBs) can also be found between the graphene-induced photonic band gap and the Bragg gap. Furthermore, the study on the PCBs indicates that the relationship between the number of PCBs (n) and the period number of the structure (N) can be expressed as n = N -1(N =2,3,4...). And, new and unexpected photonic band gaps among PCBs are observed. The effects of chemical potential of graphene, thickness of defect layer, and incident angle on transmission properties are also discussed. The research results may provide a valuable reference for the design and fabrication of optical communication devices, such as isolators, switches, multichannel filters, and so on.
