The optical properties of vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) can be tuned viametal-insulator transition. In this work different types of one-dimensionalphotonic structure-based microcavities that embed vanadium dioxide have beenstudied in the spectral range between 900 nm and 2000 nm. In particular, $VO_2$has been sandwiched between: i) two photonic crystals made of $SiO_2$ and$ZrO_2$; ii) two aperiodic structures made of $SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ that followthe Thue-Morse sequence; iii) two disordered photonic structures, made of$SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ in which the disorder is introduced either by a randomsequence of the two materials or by a random variation of the thicknesses ofthe layers; iv) two four material-based photonic crystals made of $SiO_2$,$Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$, and $ZrO_2$. The ordered structures i and iv show,respectively, one and two intense transmission valleys with defect modes, whilethe aperiodic and disordered structures ii and iii show a manifold oftransmission valleys due to their complex layered configurations. Themetal-insulator transition of $VO_2$, controlled by temperature, results in amodulation of the optical properties of the microcavities.
