By considering that the superlattice is electrodynamically anisotropic in the presence of an external magnetic field, we derive the dispersion equations; we show that the photonic spectrum of this superlattice loses its degeneracy and splits into two branches due to the external magnetic field. Interestingly, our results indicate that a superlattice that was previously wholly photo-isolating can become entirely photo-conducting, regardless of the direction of the external magnetic field applied. These results could be helpful to design and build new optical diode-like devices.en2304-6732202311MDPIhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/dispersionmagneto-optical materialsnanophotonicsoptical propertiesphotonic crystalsElectrical Engineering, Electronic EngineeringJournal Article10.15480/882.891310.3390/photonics1011120210.15480/882.8913Journal Article
