We investigate the effect of a perpendicular static magnetic field on the optical bandgap of a one-dimensional (1D) graphene-dielectric photonic crystal in order to examine the possibility of reaching a rich tunable photonic bandgap. The solution of the wave equation in the presence of the anisotropic Hall situation suggests two decoupled circularly polarized wave each exhibiting different degrees of bandgap tunability. It is also numerically demonstrated that applying different values of field intensity lead to perceptible changes in photonic bandgap of such a structure. Finally, the effect of opening a finite electronic gap in the spectrum of graphene on the optical dispersion solution of such a 1D photonic crystal is reported. It is shown that increasing the value of the electronic gap results in the shrinkage of the associated photonic bandgaps.
