The transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the nonlinear one-dimensional photonic bandgap structure with different configurations are comparatively studied. It is found that the quarter-wavelength thickness arrangement gives rise to a wide window in the visible wavelength range. The modulated superlattice scheme only produces a number of narrow windows. The scheme using random layer thickness is expected to open a very wide window by making use of film nonlinearity when the number of layers is sufficient large. These nonlinear devices can be fabricated by using available materials.

We show theoretically that the optical absorption of one-dimensional metallic photonic bandgap (MPBG) materials, which consist of alternating Ag and MgF2 layers, can be substantially enhanced by modifying the structure properly through decreasing the thickness of top MgF2 layer to half and increasing the thickness of bottom Ag layer to fivefold. Using transfer matrix method, absorption spectra and the electric field distribution profiles are numerically calculated. The absorption spectrum under reverse-direction incidence is also investigated. Based on strong and direction-dependent absorption properties, the proposed MPBG structure could allow many potential applications such as unique photothermal absorbing materials.
