Abstract:Original method for studying the dispersion characteristics of photonic crystals – media with a dielectric constant that varies periodically in space – is considered. The method is based on the representation of the wave functions and permittivity of a periodic medium in the form of Fourier series and their subsequent substitution into the wave equation, which leads to the formulation of the dispersion equation. Using the latter, for each value of the wave vector it is possible determined a set of eigen freque… Show more
