In the present work, we have obtained a new design for sensing the black body radiation.
In this work we designed one-dimensional photonic crystals incorporates that a high-temperature superconducting material as a defect layer. The numerical results are essentially
obtained based on the fundamental characteristic matrix method. Also, the results show
that the appearance of defect mode inside the photonic band gap. Moreover, the intensity of
the defect mode could be tuned by the operating temperature as well as the black body temperature. The angle of incidence and the thickness of the superconductor are investigated.
The present work could be potential use in many applications such as sensors for satellites
thermal properties and spacecraft.
