The average light transmission of one-dimensional photonic media has been studied as a function of the medium homogeneity, quantified by the Shannon Wiener index. We have found a decrease in the average light transmission by increasing the Shannon Wiener index up to minimum (corresponding to H' = 0.9375): from this point, the transmission increases following the Shannon Wiener index. The behaviour has been confirmed for different pairs of materials forming the photonic structure. Nevertheless, we have observed that the trend slope is proportional to the refractive index ratio between the two materials (n(hi)/n(low)).

Abstract
The average light transmission of one-dimensional photonic media has been studied as a function of the medium homogeneity, quantified by the Shannon Wiener index. We have found a decrease in the average light transmission by increasing the Shannon Wiener index up to minimum (corresponding to H' = 0.9375): from this point, the transmission increases following the Shannon Wiener index. The behaviour has been confirmed for different pairs of materials forming the photonic structure. Nevertheless, we have observed that the trend slope is proportional to the refractive index ratio between the two materials (n(hi)/n(low)).File in questo prodotto:
