Effective dielectric constant of 2D photonic crystals with high dielectric contrast

We calculate the effective dielectric constant ( ε eff) of 2D photonic crystals (PCs) formed by rods of high dielectric constant arranged in a square lattice. One of the representations allows us to calculate the ε eff in the limiting case of perfectly conducting cylinders in air. We compare our res...

Description
Summary:We calculate the effective dielectric constant ( ε eff) of 2D photonic crystals (PCs) formed by rods of high dielectric constant arranged in a square lattice. One of the representations allows us to calculate the ε eff in the limiting case of perfectly conducting cylinders in air. We compare our results with those obtained by the electrostatic method.
