The first system is described by one-dimensional difference equations modeling a photonic crystal waveguide of li...<br/>[Phys. Rev. B 77, 115105] Published Wed Mar 05, 2008 Phys. Rev.

E. González-Vasquez<br/>We have investigated, for oblique propagation, the dispersion relation and associated electric fields of one-dimensional photonic crystals composed of alternating layers of right-handed and left-handed materials (RHM and LHM). Calculations are performed by assuming that the dielectric permittivity ...<br/>[Phys. Rev. B 77, 125102] Published Tue Mar 04, 2008 Phys. Rev. B 77, 125102 M. de Dios-Leyva O. E.

M. Hock<br/>We investigate the band structure of a class of photonic crystals made from only thin wires. Using a different method, we demonstrate that a complete photonic band gap is possible for such materials. Band gap materials normally consist of space filling dielectric or metal, whereas thin wires occupy...<br/>[Phys. Rev. E 77, 036701] Published Mon Mar 03, 2008 Phys. Rev.
