In this research, a one-dimensional photonic crystal with such a novel and simple design is introduced to serve as an efficient reflector for infrared (IR) wavelengths. The construction of the proposed photonic crystal design based on the gyroidal geometry is the mainstay of this research to investigate the total reflectivity through a wide band of IR wavelengths. In this regard, [Air/(A/B)10/substrate] is indeed the configuration of the suggested photonic crystal structure. The layer symbols, A and B represent two layers of silver with a gyroidal configuration in host materials of titanium dioxide and silicon, respectively. Meanwhile, our numerical findings demonstrate the existence of a cutoff feature at a wavelength of 1m of the propagating electromagnetic waves. Moreover, the filling fraction of sliver through layers (A) and (B) provides a substantial role in the tunability of the cutoff frequency and the reflectivity of the structure as well. Then, we have taken into account how the host material’s thicknesses and refractive indices will affect the proposed structure’s reflectance. In particular, the refractive index of the host material could lead to a significant variation of the permittivities of the considered materials. Finally, we think that the proposed structure may be of a great interest in a variety of physical and engineering applications including the optical reflectors, smart windows and solar cells applications as well.
