Abstract

We design a one-dimensional compound photonic crystal constituted of a periodic arrangement of electromagnetic-induced transparency atomic vapor. It is shown that, when a stochastic electromagnetic beam propagates through the compound photonic crystal, the spectral degrees of polarization and cross polarization of the beam can be modulated by changing the parameters of the supercells of the compound photonic crystal.
