Abstract

Using the revised plane wave method, we have calculated the photonic band structures of 2D metallic photonic crystals composed of parallel metallic rods in air background and air holes drilled in metal background. We discuss the maximization of gap-to-midgap ratio as a function of scatterer parameters with different shapes and orientations in three types of lattices.
