Bragg resonances in left-handed bigyrotropic media based on periodic ferromagnetic semiconductor

In this work, a theoretical model for a periodic bigyrotropic left-handed medium, which is a ferromagnetic semiconductor, is developed. The presence of periodicity in such a structure leads to the formation of Bragg band gaps in the spectrum of propagating waves, both in the microwave and terahertz ranges. Band gaps in the microwave range are formed in the frequency region with double negative effective parameters of the medium. The band gaps density decreases with increasing frequency in the microwave range and increases in the terahertz range.
