  ABSTRACT: In the one-dimensional binary dielectric multilayer, the structure cannot support TM polarized Bloch surface waves (TM-BSW) near the Brewster angle due to the existence of the Brewster effect, which limits the related applications of BSW. In this work, the photonic bandgap and the dispersion behaviors of Bloch surface waves in a ternary dielectric structure were investigated. The Brewster effect of the structure is broken by introducing an additional dielectric layer into the binary structure. The zero photonic bandgap caused by the Brewster angle effect in the multilayer substrate is eliminating. This enables effective control of TM-BSW like TE-BSW in the truncated ternary structure. The research results enrich the study of Bloch surface waves and have potential applications in polarization related surface wave devices.
