Extract

Photonic crystals are spatially periodic dielectric structures usually composed of two different components. We consider a photonic crystal formed by a periodic array of voids in an optically dense homogeneous substance as shown in Fig. 1. The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum of a photonic crystal with a given geometry is determined by the refractive indices of its constitutive components.
