Existence of a photonic band gap in two dimensions

A systematic theoretical investigation is undertaken in order to identify a two‐dimensional periodic dielectric structure that has a complete in‐plane photonic band gap for both polarizations. Of the various structures studied, only a triangular lattice of air columns is found to have the desired band‐gap properties. Microwave transmission experiments are performed to test the theoretical predictions.
