In the present work, we introduce a study about the reflectance properties of a one-dimensional superconductor photonic crystal in a different manner. Our structure is designed from alternately layers of high-temperature superconducting material (BSCCO) and a conventional superconducting material (Nb) terminated by the dielectric cap layer. The investigated numerical results are essentially based on the basics of the transfer matrix method and the two-fluid model. The numerical results showed the appearance of two sharp peaks, which are referred to Fano and electromagnetic-induced reflectance resonances. Also, we demonstrate the effects of many parameters on the reflectance properties of Fano resonance and the electromagnetic-induced reflectance. The effects of the constituent layer thicknesses, the number of periods, the operating temperature, the angle of incidence, and the refractive index of the dielectric cap layer are all considered. Finally, the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the Fano and EIR resonances are studied and calculated. This structure can play an important role in optical switching devices.
