Comment on "photonic band gaps: noncommuting limits and the 'acoustic band' ".
(February 6, 2008) This comment concerns the homogenization of 2D dielectric photonic crystals, and the fact that the limits k → 0 (k is the Bloch vector) and ε → +∞ do not commute for p-polarized waves (it is so for s-polarized waves, which is a straightforward case). This result has been claimed to be true by Nicorovici & al. in a series of paper [1–3] and it has been claimed to be false by K...
متن کاملEffect of disorder on photonic band gaps
We study the transmission of electromagnetic waves propagating in three-dimensional disordered photonic crystals that are periodic on the average with a diamond symmetry. The transmission has been calculated using the transfer matrix method. We study two different geometries for the scatterers: spheres and rods connecting nearest neighbors. We find that the gaps of the periodic structure surviv...
متن کاملBand Gaps of Diamond Structured Photonic Crystals
In a three dimensional photonic crystal, an artificially formed dielectric structure, periodic along three different axes, when electromagnetic waves interact they periodically modulate the dielectric constant. A photonic band gap may form in these directions prohibiting the propagation of photons for energies that lie within the gap. Under certain conditions, there will be regions of forbidden...

متن کاملLarger Two-Dimensional Photonic Band Gaps.
Absolute photonic band gaps in two-dimensional square and honeycomb lattices of circular crosssection rods can be increased by reducing the structure symmetry. The addition of a smaller diameter rod into the center of each lattice unit cell lifts band degeneracies to create significantly larger band gaps. Symmetry breaking is most effective at filling fractions near those which produce absolute...
