The thickness of the plate as well as the distance between holes is comparable with the light wavelength. Three-dimensional band ลฝ structure calculations show that a PPC supporting only a few

We consider an arbitrary 2D periodic structure in the low-frequency limit and demonstrate that it exhibits birefringence for propagation in the plane of periodicity. For polarization parallel to the cylinder axis the effective dielectric constant, eefr is just the average of the constituents, as kno
Using the revised plane wave method, we have calculated the photonic band structures of 2D metallic photonic crystals composed of parallel metallic rods in air background and air holes drilled in metal background. We discuss the maximization of gap-to-midgap ratio as a function of scatterer paramete
