This paper investigates the influences of nonperiodic rainbow resonators on the vibration attenuation of two-dimensional metamaterial plates. Rainbow metamaterial plates composed of thin host plates and nonperiodic stepped resonators are considered and compared with periodic metamaterial plates. The metamaterial plates are modelled with the finite element modelling method and verified by the plane wave expansion method. It was found that the rainbow metamaterial plates with spatially varying resonators possess broader vibration attenuation bands than the periodic metamaterial plate with the same host plates and total mass. The extension of attenuation bands was found not to be attributed to the extended bandgaps for the two-dimensional metamaterial plates, as is generally believed for a one-dimensional metamaterial beam. The complete local resonance bandgap of the metamaterial plates is separated to discrete bandgaps by the modes of nonperiodic resonators. Although the additional modes stop the formation of integrated bandgaps, the vibration of the plate is much smaller than that of resonators at these modal frequencies, the rainbow metamaterial plates could have a distinct vibration attenuation at these modal frequencies and achieve broader integrated attenuation bands as a result. The present paper could offer a new idea for the development of plate structures with broadband vibration attenuation by introducing non-periodicity.

In this paper we design a two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal based biosensor implemented by linear waveguide and nanocavity detection in malaria. The bio molecules such as a red blood cell, infected red blood cell, trapped inside the nanocavity cause transmission shift at the output terminal.  The sensing mechanism of biosensor is change in refractive index of analytes. The layout biosensor is consists a linear waveguide with a nanocavity in square symmetry For the proposed photonic based biosensor, the band gap from 2210nm to 1420 nm and input wavelength of 1550nm are used in this design. The simulation results have analysed by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, bandgap calculation is performed using plane wave expansion method.

In this paper, a new structure of two-dimensional (2D) square-lattice photonic crystal (SLPC) with button-shaped dielectric rods (BSDRs) is designed, and the properties of band gaps are analyzed by Plane Wave Expansion Method (PWM). The optimal samples that possess the width of absolute band gap are obtained by scanning the three parameters: the radius of large circular R in button mark, the ratio of the radius of small circular to the radius of large circular r/R, and the rotating angle of button mark Ө. It is shown that when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =750, the largest absolute band gap of 0.0406 (ωa/2πc) exists for normalized frequencies in the range 0.7501 to 0.7910 (ωa/2πc). Besides,we can get at most five absolute band gaps when r/R=0.485, R=0.406um, and Ө =600.

The band gaps of the two-dimensional photonic crystals, created by inhomogeneous triangular photonic crystal of variable central hexagonal holes are derived. The structure is made of air holes in GaAs. We present the best absolute photonic band gap for this structure by changing the holes’ radii. The photonic band gaps are calculated by the plane wave expansion method. The results indicate 95% overlap in the band gaps of both polarizations of TE and TM in triangular lattice.
