| Abstract: | Abstract Photonic band structure has been computed using ellipsoidal grains in f.c.c. lattice. Bandgaps have been found and the conditions for the appearance of such gaps are discussed. The effective long-wavelength dielectric constants for the ordinary and the extraordinary rays are calculated and compared with the predictions of effective medium and Maxwell-Garnett theories. |
