Abstract:
Calculations were performed using the transfer matrix of one-dimensional photonic crystals with low contrast and asymmetric structures of different periods. Such structures have been found in many plants. When joining two successively connected sublattices with different periods, an increase is observed in the amplitude of the electromagnetic field and the density of photon states inside the structure, and their change depends on the asymmetry of the thickness of the sublattices.

Keywords:
photonic crystal, defect mode, photonic band gap, layered periodic structures, density of states.
