摘要
This paper describes band structure computations of photonic crystals with a hexagonal lattice. Particularly, the full vectorial three-dimensional case is considered. The unit cells are approximated with a staircase approximation. Due to their periodicity, fields inside the computational window can be related to those outside of this area. Numerical results are compared with those from the literature and show a very good agreement.
