; 2d system: triangular lattice of air holes in dielectric ; This structure has a complete band gap (i.e. a gap in both TE and TM ; simultaneously) for a hole radius of 0.45a and a dielectric constant of ; 12. (See, e.g., the book "Photonic Crystals" by Joannopoulos et al.) ; first, define the lattice vectors and k-points for a triangular lattice: (set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size 1 1 no-size) (basis1 (/ (sqrt 3) 2) 0.5) (basis2 (/ (sqrt 3) 2) -0.5))) (define-param kz 0) ; use non-zero kz to consider vertical propagation (set! k-points (list (vector3 0 0 kz) ; Gamma (vector3 0 0.5 kz) ; M (vector3 (/ -3) (/ 3) kz) ; K (vector3 0 0 kz))) ; Gamma (define-param k-interp 4) (set! k-points (interpolate k-interp k-points)) ; Now, define the geometry, etcetera: (define-param eps 12) ; the dielectric constant of the background (define-param r 0.45) ; the hole radius (set! default-material (make dielectric (epsilon eps))) (set! geometry (list (make cylinder (center 0) (material air) (radius r) (height infinity)))) (set-param! resolution 32) (set-param! num-bands 8) (if (= kz 0) (begin (run-te) (run-tm)) (run)) ; if kz != 0 there are no purely te and tm bands
