One dimensional photonic crystal based on a mixture of an organic compound HMDSO and nitrogen N-2, is elaborated by radiofrequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (RF-PECVD) at different radiofrequency powers. The variation of the radiofrequency power for a flow of N-2/HMDSO ratio equal to 0.4, leads to obtain two kinds of layers A and B with refractive index n(A) = 2 and n(B) = 1.55 corresponding to RF power of 200 W and 20 W, respectively. The analysis of the infrared results shows that these layers have the same chemical composition element with different structure. These layers, which exhibit a good indexes difference (n(A) - n(B)) contrast, allowed then the elaboration of a one-photonic crystal from the same initial gas mixture, which is the aim of this work. After the optimization of the layers thickness, we have measured transmission and reflection spectra and we found that the photonic band gap (PBG) appears after 15 periods of alternating A and B deposited layers. The introduction of defect in the structure leads to obtain a localized mode in the center of the PBG corresponding to the telecommunication wave length 1.55 mu m. Finally, we have successfully interpreted our experimental results by using a theoretical model based on transfer matrix method. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
