Abstract
During the past decade, a significant effort has been devoted to the study of photonic crystals (PC) [1–2], The existence of a spectrum gap in PC provides an opportunity to confine and control the propagation of electromagnetic waves. It can give rise to some peculiar physical phenomena, as well as wide applications in several scientific and technical areas [2–3]. Since all the novel properties as well as the application of PC rely on the existence of photonic band gaps (PBG), it is essential to design a crystal structure that can produce a large spectrum gap. Despite the tremendous progress that has been made in this direction, it remains an important issue to find a generic method that allows us to engineer a gap. In this work, as the first example of using the perturbative approach to the study of PC, we show that a perturbation analysis can provide us a simple, systematic, and efficient way to engineer an existing PBG.
