Surface Tamm states in one-dimensional photonic crystals containing anisotropic indefinite metamaterials

Yuanyuan Chen, Ying Fang, Shanhong Huang, XiaonaYan, and Jielong Shi

We present a theoretical study of surface Tamm states localized at an interface that separates a semi-infinite isotropic left-handed metamaterial (LHM) and one-dimensional photonic crystal made of anisotropic indefinite metamaterial (IMM) (always-cutoff material). We discuss the dispersion properties of the Tamm states in different bandgaps and demonstrate that the cap layer, angular frequency, and arrangement of photonic crystal can provide flexible control for the dispersive properties of the Tamm states.
