Two-dimensional photonic lattices have been fabricated in GaAs by using standard electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching techniques. In order to obtain absolute photonic band gaps at near-infrared frequencies, graphite structures which consist of parallel cylindrical rods of GaAs at the v

โฆ Synopsis
We describe the calculation of photonic band structures of two-dimensional lattices made of more than one dielectric array. In particular, we study a face-centered graphite (fcg) structure obtained by an arrangement of two sets of cylindrical rods, one located at the vertices of regular hexagons (graphite sublattice) and another in the center of the hexagons (triangle sublattice). Changing the diameter of the centered rods, different patterns are produced including both triangle and graphite structures. We evaluate their relationships in terms of the existence of absolute photonic band gaps common to E and H polarized waves.

Basing on the plane-wave expansion method and the calculating method of photonic band gaps of two dimensional single lattice, we suggest a general calculating method of photonic band gaps of two dimensional compound lattices in which the unit cell contains some dielectric cylinders with arbitrary po
The most promising two-dimensional photonic crystals are the graphite lattice of dielectric rods in air background and the triangular lattice of air holes in dielectric background. In this paper, we compare their convenience in achieving structures which inhibit the propagation of visible electromag
